Malaysian palm oil futures hovered below MYR 4,700 per tonne, extending recent declines as weakness in Dalian palm olein and Chicago soyoil weighed on sentiment. Traders also grew cautious ahead of next week’s monthly report from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, while Reuters survey pointed to July inventories at a five-month high as seasonal output outpaced demand. Even so, palm oil was still tracking a modest weekly advance of about 0.5% so far, recovering from prior losses. Demand prospects in top buyer India offered support, with July imports surging to a 10-month high as refiners stocked up on palm oil and soyoil ahead of festive demand amid tightening domestic supplies. Exports also underpinned prices, with cargo surveyors estimating July Malaysian palm oil shipments rose between 12.1% and 19.5% from June. In China, another major consumer, July trade data showed resilient exports and imports despite moderating growth, reinforcing a broadly supportive backdrop for commodity demand.
