MUMBAI: Malaysian palm oil futures rose in early trade on Friday from their lowest level in three weeks, due to concerns over sunflower oil supplies from the top-producing Black Sea region, following escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Malaysian palm oil hits three-week low

Palm oil also gained support from a rise in rival soyoil.

The benchmark palm oil contract for November delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was up 4 ringgit, or 0.1%, at 3,856 ringgit ($893.32) a metric ton.

Fundamentals

  • Ukraine accused Russia on Thursday of using strategic bombers to strike a civilian grain vessel in a missile attack in Black Sea waters near NATO member Romania, escalating tensions between Moscow and the military alliance.

  • Dalian’s most-active soyoil contract rose 0.84%, while its palm oil contract was up 0.28%. The Chicago Board of Trade soyoil edged up 0.4%.

  • Palm oil tracks price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.

  • The Malaysian ringgit, palm’s currency of trade, rose 0.35% against the dollar. A stronger ringgit makes palm oil less attractive for foreign currency holders.

  • India’s palm oil imports in August fell more than a quarter from a month ago, primarily driven by sufficient domestic stocks and negative margins that discouraged refiners from purchasing more of the tropical oil.

  • Oil prices rose on Friday, extending a rally sparked by output disruptions in the US Gulf of Mexico, where Hurricane Francine forced producers to evacuate platforms before it hit the coast of Louisiana.

  • Stronger crude oil futures make palm a more attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.
