August 17, 2022: Malaysian palm oil futures extended gains on Wednesday, after the world's second-largest producer lowered its exports tax reference price.

FUNDAMENTALS
Malaysia has maintained its September export tax for crude palm oil at 8% and lowered its reference price, a circular on the Malaysian Palm Oil Board website showed on Wednesday.
The ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade hovered near its lowest in more than five years, making the commodity cheaper for holders of foreign currency.
Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 gained 0.9%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 rose 0.4%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were up 0.2%.
Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
Palm oil may break a support at 4,085 ringgit and fall towards the next support at 3,857 ringgit per tonne, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said.
