Palm opens higher on strong rival oils, MPOB data in focus
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures opened higher on Thursday after two straight sessions of falls, with stronger rival oils supporting the market, while investors awaited supply and demand data from the Malaysia Palm Oil Board (MPOB) for further cues.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for December delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange gained 20 ringgit, or 0.47%, to 4,272 ringgit ($995.34) a metric ton in early trade. The contract fell 2.1% in the last two sessions.
