Malaysian palm oil futures rose 0.8% to 4,290 ringgit per ton in early trade on October 21, after two sessions of declines. Support came from firmer crude oil and Chicago soyoil, while Malaysia plans to raise the windfall levy threshold and revise crude palm oil export duty.
Stronger crude makes palm more attractive for biodiesel, and the planned export duty revision could affect Malaysian export flows and palm prices.
