Palm oil hits more than seven-month low on weak exports
SINGAPORE, Aug 14 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures fell for a third consecutive session on Wednesday to hit their lowest in more than seven months, dragged by weak exports and as a forecast of record U.S soybean harvest pressured rival Dalian oils.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for October delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange fell 15 ringgit, or 0.41%, to 3,675 ringgit ($830.51) a metric ton by 0325 GMT.
It hit an intraday low of 3,638 ringgit, its weakest level since Jan. 9, earlier in the session.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil exports for Aug. 1-10 fell 13.2% from a month earlier, according to estimates by cargo surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance on Tuesday.
* The Malaysian Palm Oil Board said on Monday inventories in the world's second largest producer shrank to a four-month low in July.Analysts and traders expect a slowdown in demand to help stocks recover during the coming peak harvest season.
* The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast a record U.S soybean harvest, adding to expectations of hefty global supplies even as China reduces purchases.
* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 weakened 1.94%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 dropped 1.55%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were up 0.18%.
* Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
* The Malaysian ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade, strengthened 0.47% against the dollar. A stronger ringgit makes palm oil less attractive for foreign currency holders.
* A bullish target range of 3,784 ringgit to 3,819 ringgit per ton has been aborted for palm oil, as the contract is poised to break support at 3,671 ringgit, said Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao. TECH/C
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares rose and the dollar nursed losses after soft U.S. producer prices data stirred hopes that consumer price inflation would be benign, sending bond yields lower. MKTS/GLOB
