Malaysian palm oil price falls 1% on rising production outlook


Malaysian palm oil futures ended higher on Wednesday, tracking buoyant soy oil and crude oil prices, and prompting short covering among traders.

"Production figures are likely to be higher this month," said a Kuala Lumpur based trader, as March has more working days than February and output then tends to rise in line with seasonal trends.
