# Malaysia's Palm Oil Forecast Holds Steady as Indonesia Biodiesel Push Lifts Market

> Malaysian Palm Oil Council forecasts August crude palm oil trading between RM4,400 and RM4,650 per tonne. June output rose 8% month on month to 1.63 million tonnes on a decade-high extraction rate, but stayed 3% below last year, and exports were 4% lower on softer Chinese and Indian demand.

## Why it matters

Indonesia's B50 rollout supports palm demand, but soft Chinese and Indian imports and firm Malaysian output limit price gains, leaving the August range fairly balanced.
