KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures achieved their biggest daily gains in more than two weeks on Monday, supported by strength in rival oils and expectations that stockpiles will remain tight.
A weaker ringgit, the currency palm oil is traded in, also supported benchmark prices. It hit its weakest levels against the dollar in nearly four months on Thursday, before paring some losses to strengthen 0.1 percent to 4.1330 on late on Monday.
