Palm up on rival oils; stronger ringgit, weaker crude oil caps gains
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures opened higher on Friday, tracking the strength of rival edible oils, but a stronger ringgit and weaker crude oil prices capped its gains.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for December delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose 74 ringgit, or 1.75%, to 4,307 ringgit ($1,005.60) a metric ton during early trade.
The contract has gained 0.07% for the week so far.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 rose 0.95%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 climbed 1.31%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were up 0.32%.
* Palm oil tracks the price movements of rival edible oils, as they compete for a share of the global vegetable oils market.
* The ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade, strengthened 0.14% against the dollar, making the commodity more expensive for buyers holding foreign currencies.
* Oil eased on Friday after a rally the previous day, but prices remained set for a second straight weekly gain as investors weighed the impact of hurricane damage on U.S. demand against any broad supply disruption if Israel attacks Iranian oil sites. O/R
* Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.
* Cargo surveyors estimate exports of Malaysian palm oil products rose between 13.6% and 18.9% during Oct. 1-10, compared with the same period a month ago.
* Palm oil looks neutral in a range of 4,206 ringgit to 4,293 ringgit per metric ton, and an escape could suggest a direction, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. TECH/C
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares were headed for the first weekly loss in five as the stunning rally in Chinese shares took a breather, although all eyes are on the details of the much-anticipated fiscal stimulus from Beijing this weekend. MKTS/GLOB
