Mumbai, 7th May, (Commodities Control): Malaysian palm oil futures extended gains for a second consecutive session, reaching a more than one-week high on Tuesday, tracking persistent increases in soy oil prices due to adverse weather conditions in major producing countries such as Brazil and Russia. Further, concerns over weather disruptions in Indonesia, a significant palm oil producer, bolstered palm prices.
The benchmark palm oil contract for July delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange closed up 1.76% at 3,930 ringgit ($829.81) per metric ton, marking the highest close since April 25.

The Malaysian ringgit, which is the currency of trade for palm oil, strengthened marginally against the dollar by 0.03%.
