Palm oil at 5-year low

Published August 21, 2014

SINGAPORE: Malaysian palm oil lost more ground on Wednesday, falling for a sixth consecutive session to its lowest since October 2009 as slowing exports and prospects of near-record US soybean production weighed on the market.

Exports of Malaysian palm oil products for Aug 1-20 fell 5.39 per cent to 822,026 tonnes from the 868,843 tonnes shipped during July 1-20, cargo surveyor Intertek Testing Services said.

According to cargo surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS), palm oil product exports over the same period fell 8.3pc.
