Palm oil marginally lower on rising inventories
Updates with midday prices
By Mayank Bhardwaj
NEW DELHI, Sept 11 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures fell marginally on Wednesday after industry data showed inventories in the world's second-largest producer rose more than expected last month.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for November delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was down 24 ringgit, or 0.62%, at 3,9099 ringgit ($9,036.05) a metric ton by the midday break.
On Tuesday, the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) said the country's palm oil stocks at the end of August rose 7.34% from the previous month to 1.88 million metric tons, the highest level in six months.
Crude palm oil production gained 2.87% to 1.89 million metric tons, while palm oil exports fell 9.74% to 1.53 million metric tons, the board said.
A Reuters survey had forecast inventories at 1.86 million metric tons, with output seen at 1.89 million metric tons and exports at 1.5 million metric tons.
The market is trading sideways due to a lack of clarity "over the future course of price action and also (the) market is waiting for Indonesian palm oil export levies and duty policy revision," said Anilkumar Bagani, head of research at Mumbai-based vegetable oil broker Sunvin group.
Indonesia, the biggest palm oil exporter, plans to lower export duties to improve competitiveness and raise farmers' income.
Palm oil FCPOc3 may break support at 3,856 ringgit per metric ton and fall towards the 3,782 ringgit to 3,796 ringgit range. TECH/C
Oil prices climbed on Wednesday, paring some of the previous day's losses, as concerns about Hurricane Francine disrupting output in the U.S. -the world's biggest producer - outweighed worries about weak global demand. O/R
Asian equities and U.S. stock futures slipped on Wednesday, while the dollar was on the back foot after a feisty U.S. presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump kept investors on edge. MKTS/GLOB
