According to cargo surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS) data reported by LSEG, palm oil exports were estimated at 263,369 metric tons.
Meanwhile, Asian shares maintained their position near 15-month highs, while the US dollar remained firm ahead of eagerly awaited US inflation data. Japanese bonds experienced pressure as the central bank scaled back its bond-buying program.Oil prices also climbed on Tuesday, driven by expectations of a tighter supply-demand balance due to operational disruptions, increased demand, and voluntary output cuts.
