Malaysian palm oil price ends higher on robust exports hope


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures closed higher on Thursday, reversing losses in the morning session as anticipation over strong export data in the first half of May underpinned the contract. 

    Palm had climbed to its strongest since April 6 on Wednesday on worries an El Nino weather pattern would curb yields, but expectations of weaker demand in the second half of the month curbed gains and prompted investors to take profits.
