KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 2 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures
rose to their highest in nearly two weeks on the first trading
day of 2019, after world's largest edible oil importer India
announced import tax cuts, amid expectations of a fall in
production.
The benchmark palm oil contract for March delivery
on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was up 2.1 percent at
2,166 ringgit ($523.82) a tonne at the close of trade, its
strongest daily gains in two and a half weeks.
It earlier rose as much as 2.4 percent to 2,171 ringgit, its
strongest levels since Dec. 21.
Trading volumes stood at 32,672 lots of 25 tonnes each at
the end of the trading day. (1FCPO-TOT)
"Palm is higher today on India's import tax cut and
production, which is expected to be down for the whole month
also," said a futures trader in Singapore.
Palm oil output in Malaysia, the second largest producer of
the vegetable oil, seasonally declines in the first few months
of the year after peaking in the previous quarter.
November production had slid 6.09 percent from the previous
month to 1.85 million tonnes, according to industry regulator
data. (MYPOMP-CPOTT)
India, the world's largest importer of edible oils, said
late on Monday it would lower the duty on crude palm oil imports
to 40 percent from 44 percent, while a tax on refined oils was
cut to 50 percent from 54 percent.
Malaysian shipments of refined palm oil, however, will be
taxed at 45 percent compared with 54 percent earlier.
Despite the tax cuts, traders expect market gains to be
short-lived as palm inventory levels in Southeast Asia remain
high.
In other related oils, the January soybean oil contract on
the Dalian Commodity Exchange rose 1 percent and the
Dalian January palm oil contract gained 2.3 percent.
Palm oil prices are impacted by changes in soyoil prices, as
they compete for a share in the global vegetable oil market.
