Malaysian palm oil prices held near recent highs on January 28 as a firmer ringgit, about 0.8% stronger against the dollar, made exports pricier. The April contract was flat near 4,262 ringgit per ton.
Surveyors estimated January 1-25 palm product exports rose 8-10% from the prior month, and soyoil gains in Chicago and Dalian gave support.
A stronger ringgit limits Malaysian export competitiveness even as shipments improve, capping palm upside. Firmer soyoil provides a floor for the broader vegetable oil complex.
