Malaysian palm oil futures closed up 0.1% at 2,869 ringgit, a weekly loss of 1.4%, as October exports fell and demand from top buyer India weakened. India's September palm imports fell 27% year on year, while its soyoil purchases rose 28%.
Rising Indonesian inventories and weaker biodiesel consumption also weighed on prices.
