Malaysian crude palm oil futures fell to an eight-day low in the week ending December 2, dropping 4.4% on the week. The decline followed a sharp fall in CME soyoil after the planned US biofuel blending changes, and a stronger ringgit added pressure.
Weaker soyoil and a firmer ringgit reduce palm oil's price competitiveness and export values, which pressures palm oil quotes and related feed fats.
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.
After 351 past bearish policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.8%), and -0.2% over 20.
