Palm rises on stronger rival oils; on track for weekly gain
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures rose for a third straight session and were set for a weekly gain on Friday, tracking strength in rival edible oils, though weaker crude oil prices and a firmer ringgit capped the rise.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for December delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange gained 55 ringgit, or 1.44%, to 3,931 ringgit ($937.74) a metric ton as of 0255 GMT.
The contract has so far gained about 3.1% for the week.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 rose 0.87%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 added 1.54%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were up 0.39%.
* Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils, as they compete for a share of the global vegetable oils market.
* Oil prices, which were little changed in early Asian trade on Friday, were on track to end higher for a second straight week following a large cut in U.S. interest rates and declining global stockpiles. O/R
* Brent futures LCOc1 were trading 0.25% lower at $74.69 a barrel at 0236 GMT. Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.
* The ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade, strengthened 0.29% against the dollar, making the commodity more expensive for buyers holding foreign currencies and capping its gains.
* Indonesia, the world's biggest palm oil exporter, will introduce a new set of monthly levies in a bid to improve competitiveness against rival edible oils, a regulation published on Thursday by its finance ministry showed.
* Indonesia's palm oil exports are expected to decline this year due to increased domestic consumption because of a higher biodiesel blending mandate and a slight decrease in production, an industry official told Reuters on Thursday.
* Palm oil may fall into a range of 3,817 ringgit to 3,853 ringgit per metric ton, following its failure to break resistance at 3,962 ringgit and a falling trendline, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. TECH/C
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares extended their rally on Friday, bathing in the afterglow of an outsized interest rate cut in the United States, while the yen was jittery ahead of a monetary policy decision in Japan as traders look for clues about future tightening. MKTS/GLOB
