Malaysian palm oil price posts first fall in three sessions


Malaysia palm oil futures ended Thursday's trade lower, shedding more than 1 percent as sentiment tracked the softer performance of rival oils in Dalian and on the Chicago Board of Trade.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Wednesday evening after two sessions of gains, tracking weaker rival oilseed soy, though tight supplies because of lower output curbed further losses. 

Benchmark palm oil futures for March delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange were down 0.7 percent at 3,141 ringgit ($699) a tonne on Wednesday evening, their biggest daily pct drop since Dec. 29.
