Malaysian palm oil futures extended losses, trading near MYR 4,600 per tonne and moving further away from a near four-week high, as weakness in rival edible oils on the Dalian and Chicago exchanges weighed on sentiment. Demand concerns also persisted after palm oil imports by top buyer India fell to a 14-month low in June, pointing to softer near-term buying interest. Meantime, export data for July 1–20 provided little direction, with AmSpec Agri Malaysia reporting shipments fell 0.9% from the same period in June, while Intertek Testing Services estimated a 4.1% increase. Still, losses were cushioned by a weaker ringgit and growing supply risks, with higher biodiesel mandates in Indonesia and Malaysia reducing export availability and providing underlying support to prices. Investors also looked to the upcoming Politburo meeting later this month in China, another major palm oil consumer, hoping for fresh stimulus after second-quarter growth undershot expectations.
