FUNDAMENTALS

* Traders are concerned about a smaller harvest in Indonesia following reports that dry weather and aging trees may hurt production in the world's biggest palm oil grower.

* Indonesia's June palm oil exports rose 71.8% from May to 3.385 million metric tons, but were down 1.88% from a year ago, data from the Indonesia Palm Oil Association showed.

* Malaysia's palm oil product exports for Aug. 1-25 declined between 14.1% and 14.9% from a month earlier, data from cargo surveyor Intertek Testing Services and independent inspection company AmSpec Agri Malaysia showed on Monday.

* Indonesia's president elect Prabowo Subianto said that European Union's deforestation regulation, which can potentially curb EU imports of Indonesian palm oil once implemented, is a "blessing in disguise". Indonesia will use more of its palm oil output for biodiesel, he added.

* Prabowo hopes to implement the mandatory 50% palm oil-based biodiesel blending by early 2025, which he said would cut fuel imports by $20 billion per year.

* Indonesia's trade ministry is mulling a plan to adjust its palm oil export tax to make the commodity more competitive amid weak global demand, Bisnis.com reported on Monday.

* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 gained 0.66%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 edged 0.07% lower. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 ticked up 0.22%.

* Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
