# Malaysia’s Palm Oil Fundamentals Are Positive but Shifts in Other Variables May Limit Downside Opportunities for Buyers

> The Malaysian Palm Oil Board's October data showed higher production, rising inventories and lackadaisical demand from top buyers, which pushed prices lower. Malaysian October crude palm oil output was estimated at 1.83 million tonnes, up 2.59% from September. Tridge advises buyers to take cover into 2023.

## Why it matters

Rising output and inventories are bearish near term, though seasonal production peaks are expected to ease and the outlook may turn bullish in the new year. Buyers may benefit from locking in current lower prices.
