On January 26th, according to foreign media reports, Malaysian palm oil futures opened higher on Monday, supported by rising prices of competing commodities such as edible oils and crude oil, although a stronger ringgit limited gains. The most active soybean oil contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange rose 1.16%, while the palm oil contract rose 0.76%. Soybean oil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade rose 0.56%. Palm oil often follows the price fluctuations of competing commodities due to competition for market share in the global vegetable oil market. Crude oil prices continued their upward trend after rising more than 2% in the previous trading day, with tensions between the US and Iran keeping investors cautious, despite the full resumption of operations on Kazakhstans main export pipelines. The strength in crude oil futures increased the attractiveness of palm oil as a feedstock for biodiesel. The ringgit, the currency for palm oil trading, appreciated 0.92% against the US dollar, making it more expensive for buyers holding foreign currency to purchase the commodity.January 26th - In 2025, public security traffic management departments across the country actively promoted online processing of traffic management services such as license plate and certificate replacement without leaving home.
