fresh 3-month lows on Wednesday, reversing a brief respite in a

sixth-straight day of declines during morning trading, as

concerns over export demand outlook for the edible oil triggered

prices to fall further.

By Wednesday's close, benchmark palm oil for October

on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange had slipped

0.89 percent to 2,112 ringgit ($554.40) a tonne. Earlier, the

contract hit 2,108 ringgit, its lowest since April 30.

"This is a continuation of the prevailing market weaknes,"

said a trader with a foreign commodities brokerage in Kuala

Lumpur.

"After the lunch break when the Dalian RBD palm oil didn't

move much, we took the opportunity to adjust prices and continue

with the bearish movement," the trader said referring to palm

oil traded on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange.

Total traded volume on Wednesday stood at 56,574 lots of 25

tonnes each, well above the roughly 35,000 lots usually traded

daily.

Recent political drama involving allegations of graft

embroiling Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was not seen

affecting the market, the trader said. [ID:nL3N1091XU}

However, turmoil in Chinese stock markets would impact

demand for palm oil, a second trader said, referring to one of

the world's top importers of the edible oil.

"There are people who are also involved in the palm oil

trade whose money is being eroded there," the trader said.

With declining exports from Malaysia in July expected to

outweigh declines in production over the Muslim holiday period,

Malaysian Palm Oil Board closing stocks and production data due

out on August 10 could show excess stocks, the trader said.

"The market is depressed here trying to get a foothold for

new demand."

In competing markets, oil prices fell in Asian trade on

Wednesday as concerns over global oversupply outweighed the

impact of a likely larger than expected draw in U.S. crude

stocks and a weakening dollar.

The U.S. soyoil contract for August slipped 0.91

percent in afternoon Asian trading.

Meanwhile, the most active January soybean oil contract

on the Dalian Commodity Exchange edged up 0.77 percent

snapping a four-day selloff, and Dalian RBD palm oil for

September delivery gained 0.89 percent.
