Palm oil prices are fluctuating amid global vegetable oil supply disruptions and shifting demand toward CPO-based cooking oil. Indonesia has shifted from El Niño to La Niña conditions, bringing excess rain, flooding, and reduced sunlight.
These conditions have cut plantation productivity.
Weather-driven yield losses in Indonesia tighten global palm supply, which supports export prices. Lower output from the largest producer is the key bullish factor for palm and competing oils.
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.
