Malaysian palm oil futures rose to their highest close since November 8 on Thursday, gaining 2.65% to 4,293 ringgit a tonne. Flooding in Malaysia and Indonesia has disrupted crude palm oil quality and supply, and India's scrapping of its duty-free sunflower oil import quota also drew trader attention.
Flood-related supply disruption and a tighter sunflower oil outlook support palm oil prices, with the weaker ringgit adding to the rally. Feed buyers using palm-derived fats or meal alternatives should expect firmer vegetable oil costs.
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.
After 184 past bullish weather events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.9% to +2.4%), and -0.5% over 20.
