Malaysian palm oil futures fell from a one-week high on Monday evening, weighed down by a stronger ringgit MYR=, which makes the tropical oil more expensive for holders of foreign currencies

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Wednesday evening, easing from gains made earlier in the day, as it fell on a stronger ringgit, its currency of trade.
