KUALA LUMPUR (Nikkei Markets) -- Malaysia will study the impact of a call by an Indian trade body to halt palm oil imports as it awaits official communication from New Delhi on any potential measure that could dent shipments of the commodity.
"We will study the effect of the boycott," Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said at a news conference. "What is important is that their government has not said anything. So we will see what the government policy is going to be like."
