Malaysian palm oil futures fell sharply after Dalian futures dropped their daily limit of 7% when trading resumed following China's Lunar New Year break. The coronavirus outbreak has disrupted travel and activity in China, the second-largest palm oil importer.
India had also restricted refined palm oil imports and informally halted purchases from Malaysia in January.
Lower Chinese demand combined with India's import curbs removes major outlets for Malaysian palm oil, pressuring prices. Traders see the benchmark possibly falling below 2,500 ringgit if disruption persists.
