Malaysian palm oil futures rose over 2 percent to their highest in nearly two weeks on the first trading day of 2019. The gain followed India's cut in import duties on crude palm oil to 40 percent from 44 percent and on refined oil to 50 percent from 54 percent.
Malaysian refined shipments will face a 45 percent duty.
Lower Indian duties make palm oil more competitive against soyoil and sunflower oil, which should lift import demand from the largest edible oil buyer. Traders still expect gains to be limited by high Southeast Asian inventories.
Na 133 eerdere opwaarts handel-gebeurtenissen bewoog Palmolie zich mediaan +0,7% over 5 sessies (64% hoger; middelste helft -0,8% tot +2,3%), en +1,7% over 20.
