Palm oil futures steady

Published April 25, 2014

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures finished unchanged on Thursday, after declining 1.2 per cent in the previous session as expectations of only a marginal increase in exports capped prices.

The market is speculating cargo surveyors would report 3 to 4pc increase in exports on Friday, contrary to earlier expectation of strong demand with top buyers securing supplies for Ramazan.

“We were looking at exports of close to a million tonnes for April 1-25 period but now it looks like the number will be around 958,000 tonnes,” said a Kuala Lumpur-based trader.
