Palm climbed to the highest level in eight months on speculation that output in Malaysia, the world’s second-largest producer, will drop starting next month because of growing cycles and the beginning of the monsoon season.
The contract for delivery in January advanced 1.8 percent to 2,543 ringgit ($807) a metric ton on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives, the highest level at close for most-active futures since Feb. 20. Palm for physical delivery in November was at 2,540 ringgit, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
