KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures fell over 1 per cent to their lowest in nearly three weeks on Monday as traders turned bearish due to a weaker outlook for exports.

It had earlier fallen to 2,264 ringgit, its lowest since Jan. 23. Trading volumes stood at 35,402 lots of 25 tonnes each at the close of trade.
