Mumbai (commodities control) - Domestic RBD Palmolein was mostly lower during the week ended Saturday 27th May, largely pressured by weak Malaysian Palm Oil futures coupled with volatile rupee.
Malaysian Palm oil futures were down 4.05 percent this week as Malaysian Ringgit closed at MYR 4.2630, edging up to 6.5 month high, having gained 5% since the start of the year. A stronger Ringgit makes Palm oil, which is priced in Ringgit expensive to international buyers making it less competitive on the futures and physical market, particularly for exports.
Palm oil futures on the Malaysian exchange is trading in Backwardation where in the near month contract is trading higher to far months’ contract on the prospects of higher output from Indonesia and Malaysia.
The South Palm Oil Millers Association (Malaysia) have estimated May 1-25 production up 5.67 percent which is also weighing on Malaysian Palm Oil Futures.
Further export demand for palm oil has improved sharply to 16.2 percent during May 1-25. However, funds feel exports are lower than May 1-20, so funds are bearish on Malaysian palm oil futures.
