Malaysia's commodities ministry said it has contingency plans to stay competitive in European markets if it is classed as a standard-risk country under the EU deforestation rules. Engagement sessions with agricommodity industries would follow if Malaysia fails to win low-risk status.
A standard-risk classification would require full due diligence for Malaysian palm oil shipped to the EU, potentially diverting volumes and weighing on Malaysian palm oil prices relative to other markets.
After 400 past bearish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.1%), and +0.2% over 20.
