Malaysian palm oil futures edged lower on Friday as traders awaited industry production data for the first 20 days of the month before taking any fresh positions.

KUALA LUMPUR: Palm oil futures have been trading on Singapore’s Asia Pacific Exchange for just three months, but they’re already making their mark in a world long dominated by the benchmark contract in neighboring Malaysia.

The Chinese-backed bourse started trading crude palm oil futures on April 18. The product is dollar-denominated and physically deliverable to ports in West and East Malaysia, as well as Belawan and Dumai ports in Indonesia.
