Malaysian crude palm oil fell to its lowest in more than five weeks on Thursday, as investors turned more bearish on forecasts for rain in parts of the U.S. Midwest that could bring some relief to the drought-hit soy crop. (Reuters)

Crude palm oil futures on Malaysia's derivatives exchange ended sharply lower Thursday due to lingering concerns over the health of the global economy, weak palm oil exports and improved weather forecasts for the U.S. Midwest, temporarily allaying fears of widespread damage to the U.S. soybean crop. Slowing growth momentum in China and the euro-zone debt crisis are also damping market sentiment, traders said.

July export figures were also bearish. Cargo surveyor Intertek on Wednesday said July 1-25 exports slipped 14% from the same period in June to 1.03 million tons. Another surveyor, SGS (Malaysia) Bhd., put July 1-25 exports at 986,829 tons, a decline of 19% on month.

Oil futures rose for a third straight day on Thursday after a pledge by the European Central Bank to protect the euro zone eased some worries about the region's debt crisis.
