Futures News, June 9th - According to foreign media reports, Malaysian crude palm oil futures on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange (BMD) are likely to open higher on Tuesday morning, mainly reflecting a decline in expected Malaysian production and a rise in international crude oil prices. Firm gains in international crude oil futures and stronger Chicago soybean oil futures will help boost the early performance of Malaysian crude palm oil futures. A potential decline in Malaysian palm oil production in May, coupled with the possibility of an El Niño event in the second half of the year threatening palm oil production in Southeast Asia, will also support prices. However, the uncertainty surrounding Indonesia's B50 policy, and the potential for a sell-off in the Indonesian spot market before the full implementation of the new export regime, could put downward pressure on prices.
