    PLUNGING commodity prices in 2014 had varying effects on Singapore-listed commodity traders - Wilmar International, Olam International and Noble Group - which reported mixed quarterly results last month.

    Despite the commodities patch, for the three months ended Dec 31, 2014, compared to a year ago, Wilmar bucked the trend and recorded a net profit gain, even as revenues fell. Management has attributed the improvement to margin expansion on lower feedstock costs and growth in its downstream businesses.
