July 6, 2022: Malaysian palm oil futures plunged more than 8% on Wednesday to a near one-year low, hit by anticipation of rising supplies amid a sell-off in crude and Dalian oils driven by recession fears.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for September delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange fell 348 ringgit, or 8.34% to 3,426 ringgit ($774.76) a tonne by 0307 GMT.
Palm extending losses for a fourth straight session, hitting their lowest since July 9, 2021.
FUNDAMENTALS
Malaysia's end-June palm oil inventories likely climbed 12.3% from the month before to their highest levels in seven months, as exports plunged following top producer Indonesia's return to the export market, a Reuters poll showed on Tuesday.
Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 fell 6.5%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 plunged 8.1%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were down 0.9%.
