Malaysian palm oil futures slipped for four straight days to close at RM2,390 on Friday, down RM26 on the week. AmSpec and SGS both reported April 1 to 25 palm product exports lower than in the same period of March.
Weaker export data and falling trading activity reinforce the bearish trend in palm oil, pointing to lower prices for vegetable oil and palm-based feed ingredients.

Four straight days of losses and lower April 1-25 exports from AmSpec and SGS had already built bearish sentiment before the May 1 drop.
