Malaysian palm oil futures ended higher on Friday and posted their first weekly gain in three weeks, with the January contract up 0.5% to 4,462 ringgit per tonne. Analysts at the Indonesian Palm Oil Conference expect prices to recover as El Niño-driven drought hits production in the first quarter of 2027.
Soyoil on the Chicago Board of Trade and Dalian also rose.
Expected El Niño-related output losses in Indonesia support forward palm oil prices. Gains in rival soyoil suggest broader vegetable oil strength, which can lift demand for palm oil.
