| Commodity | Date | Window | Change % | z-score | Why linked |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| PALMOIL | 2025-08-04 | 1 | +2.4% | 3.4 | Monday 4 Aug saw futures fall midday on expectations of a 19-month-high Malaysian stock build, but the move in question is a +2.40% gain, so this explains bearish pressure rather than the rise; low-moderate relevance via the rebound being a bargain-buying reaction. |
| PALMOIL | 2025-08-05 | 1 | +2.4% | 3.0 | Futures fell 1.7% on Aug 4 on bearish stock expectations, creating the lower base that invited bargain buying and the rebound on Aug 5. |
