Market players are looking out for palm oil export data for July due next Tuesday for consumption trends after earlier data showed signs of slowing demand. Malaysia's palm oil exports fell 18 percent in July 1-25 period.
Sources said “Due to need based local demand in month end activities remain subdued. Hardly 300 – 400 tonnesof Palmolein was traded during the day at lower rates. Vaibhavi sold about 250 – 300 tonnes of Palmolein at Rs.612 – 613 for 15-30 August while rest was resale traded. Domestic refineries have decreased the rates for Palmolein and Soya oil on favourable import parity. Bounce back in Malaysian palm oil and expected higher domestic demand in coming festivals months along with the deficit rain will keep sentiment bullish. Lack of monsoon in producing areas and worry about crop is a main cause of concern. In Malaysia prices have again become attractive for importing countries and exports should soon show signs of recovery as Palm oil is cheaper than Soya oil”.
