Malaysian palm oil futures gained on Friday for a second consecutive session, as easing recession concerns boosted edible oil prices, but the contract is set for a sharp weekly drop.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for September delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose 72 ringgit, or 1.74%, to 4,212 ringgit ($952.08) a tonne by the midday break.
“Palm futures sustained the gains from yesterday spurred by bargain buying and a solidly higher Dalian market,” said Sathia Varqa, co-founder of Singapore-based Palm Oil Analytics.
