Palm rises on stronger Dalian rivals but weak Chicago soyoil limits gains

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures opened higher for a second straight session on Monday, supported by stronger rival Dalian oils, though weaker Chicago soyoil capped gains. The benchmark palm oil contract for August delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange gained RM23, or 0.59 per cent, to RM3,940 (US$930.34) a metric ton in early trade. Dalian's most-active soyoil contract rose 0.7 per cent, while its palm oil contract added 0.64 per cent. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade were down 0.04 per cent. Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils, as it competes for a share of the global vegetable oils market. Chicago soybean and corn futures eased, with both markets giving up some of last week's gains as focus turned on crucial talks due to start between top agricultural trading partners, the United States and China. Oil prices held on to last week's gains early on Monday as investors waited for US-China trade talks to be held in London later in the day. Stronger crude oil futures make palm a more attractive option for biodiesel feedstock. The ringgit, palm's currency of trade, weakened 0.24 per cent against the dollar, making the commodity slightly cheaper for buyers holding foreign currencies. Free trade negotiations with the European Union, which have been ongoing for nine years, are expected to be concluded by the end of June, Indonesia said. Both parties have previously disagreed on EU trade rules for products with potential links to deforestation that could affect Indonesian palm oil. Palm oil looks neutral in a narrow range of RM3,889 to RM3,925 per metric ton, and an escape could suggest a direction, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. Shares jumped and the dollar pared recent gains as Asian markets reacted to better-than-expected US jobs data ahead of talks in London aimed at mending a trade rift between the United States and China.

WazirX investors fear further delays as moratorium extended to June 6

WazirX users have been waiting for more than six months to access their locked crypto funds. Their wait will be longer as the Singapore court has extended an existing moratorium to June 6. The WazirX cryptocurrency exchange has been trying to push for restructuring through the Singapore legal system after a hacked multi-signature wallet last year led to the loss of over $230 million in crypto assets. The attack was later tied to North Korean hackers. 'The hearing for SUM 940 took place on 13 May 2025 before the Singapore Court. While no orders were made at this stage, the Court has directed the Company to file a further affidavit(s) by 23 May 2025, and extended the existing moratorium to 6 June 2025,' posted WazirX on the X social media platform on May 14. SUM 940 is the application WazirX-operating entity Zettai filed in the Singapore High Court to seek formal approval for the restructuring scheme after the voting process, the company explained. WazirX's voting process was conducted via the Kroll Issuer Services platform between March 19 and March 28 this year, with 93.1% of voting creditors who were representing 94.6% in value voting in favour of the company's restructuring scheme. WazirX had previously said that after the needed legal approvals, the first distributions could begin within 10 business days of the scheme becoming legally effective. This is why the extension of the moratorium is causing investors to worry. WazirX said the Singapore court had not yet set another hearing date but that a possible decision related to the matter could come after the due date for the company affidavits, which is May 23. 'We know many of you are eagerly waiting for the platform restart and first distribution. Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to make this possible under an effective Scheme, and we'll continue to keep you informed when we receive directions from the Court,' posted WazirX on May 14, thanking users for their support and patience.
