A Marex report notes Malaysia and Indonesia supply 88% of world palm oil, with USDA estimating 67.1 million tonnes of output against 79.6 million tonnes of consumption for 2026/27. Stocks-to-use is thin at under 12%, making both countries exposed to El Niño-related production shortfalls.
Thin global stocks mean even small El Niño-driven output losses in Indonesia or Malaysia could sharply lift palm oil prices.
After 181 past bullish weather events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -0.9% to +1.9%), and +0.3% over 20.
