Futures contracts of crude palm oil on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives were slightly up. The most active December crude palm oil contract on the Malaysian bourse was up 1 ringgit from the previous close. However, strength in the Malaysian currency against the dollar and a rise in palm oil inventories in September is seen restricting gains. A firm ringgit makes export of palm oil less attractive for Malaysian sellers. Weaker demand post the festival season is expected to further dampen price outlook.
