Crude palm oil on Bursa Malaysia fell 3.03% to 3,289 ringgit per ton in the morning session on May 31, 2023, its lowest in a month. Malaysian exports for May were reported mixed by cargo surveyors, and palm output was expected to rise in May.
Dalian soyoil and palm contracts and CBOT soyoil also declined.
Expected higher May palm output and weaker rival oils add supply pressure and push down vegetable oil prices. Mixed export data limits the strength of the bearish signal.
