Palm oil tanks in Malaysia's Sarawak state are nearing capacity after a larger-than-expected harvest and high freight costs slowed shipments. Malaysian inventories hit a record 3.51 million tons in September, and the government is considering a waiver of crude palm oil export taxes.
Record stocks and a possible export tax waiver increase palm oil export availability, pressuring prices and widening its discount to rival vegetable oils.
After 24 past logistics events, Palm Oil moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.0% to +2.7%), and +1.3% over 20.
