Malaysian crude palm oil futures held firm near $1,018 a tonne after the October MPOB data showed production up 16.5% and closing stocks up 31.9% to 2.16 million tonnes. Indonesia's B50 biodiesel programme is expected to keep more palm oil at home and reduce exports in 2027.
MPOB has urged the industry to study China's new contaminant standards.
Indonesian biodiesel absorption could tighten exports over time, while high Malaysian stocks currently cap prices. China's contaminant rules may shift trade flows.
After 513 past neutral policy events, Palm Oil moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
