Malaysian palm oil futures jumped on Monday due to falling inventories and expectations of lower output because of dry weather conditions.
The benchmark palm oil contract for March delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was up 8 ringgit, or 0.22%, to 3,719 ringgit ($794.15) by the midday break.
“There are concerns that unfavourable weather could affect palm oil production in Malaysia and Indonesia, and then there are lower inventories,” said a Mumbai-based dealer.
