Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Malaysian palm oil futures extended their rally for the third consecutive session on Tuesday (Aug 19, 2025), reaching the highest level in more than five months. The surge was supported by stronger vegetable oil prices on the Dalian exchange and a weaker Malaysian ringgit, although softer global crude oil prices limited the gains.
