Palm oil eases for second day on higher Malaysia supply prospects
BEIJING, July 24 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures fell for a second day on Wednesday, pressured by prospects of higher output in the world's second largest producer.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for October delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange slid 18 ringgit, or 0.45%, to 3,951 ringgit ($845.86) a ton during early trade.
FUNDAMENTALS
* The market is anticipating higher production in July after a miller association's data showed output in southern Peninsular Malaysia during July 1-20 rose 17.8% compared to the same period last month, analysts said.
* India bought a record amount of edible oils for July delivery, as refiners increased palm oil and soyoil purchases due to lucrative prices and ahead of an anticipated hike in import duties, industry and government sources told Reuters.
* Indonesia is planning for the widespread use of the palm-oil based B40 biodiesel in 2025, replacing the current B35 blending, the energy ministry said in a statement.
* Falling U.S. crude inventories caused oil prices to rebound on Wednesday after several days of decline, while expectations for a nearing ceasefire deal in the Middle East kept prices from continuing to climb. O/R
* Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.
* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 fell 0.05%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 fell 0.9%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were down 0.6%.
* Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
* Palm oil may retest support at 3,947 ringgit per metric ton, as it could have completed a bounce around resistance at 4,024 ringgit, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. TECH/C
MARKET NEWS
* Asian stocks were subdued on Wednesday after lacklustre earnings from U.S. tech behemoths Tesla and Alphabet dented sentiment, while the yen hit a six-week high ahead of a central bank meeting next week where a rate hike remains on the table. MKTS/GLOB
