Asian palm oil futures fell nearly 6% on Friday, with the Bursa Malaysia May contract down MR137 or 5.69% to settle below MR2,322 per tonne. The drop followed a global equity selloff as coronavirus fears spread beyond East Asia, and Dalian palm olein futures hit limit down.
Investors pulled back from commodities on fears of weaker demand from the outbreak and broader financial stress, which pressures palm oil and its link to soyoil through biodiesel demand. Feed buyers face lower vegetable oil prices, though the move is driven by sentiment rather than physical supply.
