# Palm oil inches up on improving exports, typhoon concerns

> Malaysian palm oil futures edged higher after Intertek data showed palm product exports fell 4.6% in the first half of November, an improvement on the earlier 13% drop. Prices also drew support from fears that a super typhoon damaged Philippine coconut crops and could tighten coconut oil supply. The benchmark January contract traded at 2,599 ringgit per tonne.

## Why it matters

A possible coconut oil shortage would shift demand toward palm-based substitutes and support palm oil prices. Improving export flows and expected Chinese restocking before Lunar New Year add to the support.
