JAKARTA: Malaysian palm oil futures inched higher on Wednesday, supported by an uptick in soyoil prices in the Dalian and Chicago markets.

Palm ends lower on profit taking ahead of a major conference

Fundamentals

  • Dalian’s most-active soyoil contract rose 0.44%, while its palm oil contract lost 0.19%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade were up 0.71%.

  • Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils as it competes for a share in the global vegetable oils market.

  • Malaysia’s palm oil inventories are forecast to fall in October, marking their first decline in three months, due to lower output and higher exports, a Reuters survey showed on Tuesday.

  • Palm oil stocks are expected to drop to 1.92 million tons, while crude palm oil output is expected at 1.76 million tons, according to the survey.

  • The ringgit, palm’s currency of trade, weakened 0.46% against the US dollar, making the vegetable oil cheaper for buyers holding foreign currencies.

  • Oil prices fell on Wednesday as early poll results in the US election showed Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump locked in a tight race for the presidency.

  • Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.

  • Palm oil may retrace further into a range of 4,711 ringgit to 4,741 ringgit per ton, following its failure to break resistance at 4,883 ringgit, according to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao.
