Soyoil contract price at Dalian with the code DBYcv1 decreased 0,51%, CPO contract price with the code DCPcv1 also decreased 0,36%. Soyoil at Chicago Board of Trade BOc2 increased 0,21%.
Palm oil has something to do with other vegetable oil price because they compete to get part in vegetable oil trade globally.
According to surveyor companies – Intertek Testing Services and AmSpec Agri Malaysia, palm oil exports from Malaysia in November 2023 could be increasing between 2% and 11% to the previous month. (T2)
