Malaysian palm oil futures for August delivery closed down 0.67% at 3,845 ringgit a tonne, their lowest close in seven weeks. Malaysia's June 1-10 exports fell 14.3% from the same period in May, according to cargo surveyor Amspec Agri.
MPOB data showed May stocks rose only 1.49% to 1.57 million tonnes, below expectations.
Slower June export shipments point to weaker palm demand, which outweighs the smaller-than-expected inventory build. The market is watching June export performance for further direction.
After 96 past bearish report events, Palm Oil moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.6%), and -0.9% over 20.
