Malaysian palm oil futures fell about 1% on Friday for a third straight session, to RM3,101 a tonne. Traders cited a narrow spread with soyoil and weaker related oils on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, despite cargo surveyor data showing a 17-20% rise in Malaysian palm shipments for January 1-20.
A narrow palm-soy spread leaves palm dependent on soyoil direction, and weak Dalian oils signal soft demand in China, which keeps vegetable oil prices under pressure for feed buyers.
