Malaysian palm oil price slides to 16-month low on weak demand


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures slid to their lowest in over a year in late trade on Thursday, charting a sixth day of losses in eight, as traders turned bearish over weakening export demand.

The market had been range-bound before edging higher at the midday break on Thursday, supported by overnight gains in related edible oils and a weaker ringgit, which usually makes palm cheaper for holders of foreign currencies.
