Malaysian palm oil futures fell for a fourth straight session to their lowest in nearly a year, down 2.8% after a 10% intraday drop. Recession fears, Indonesia's raised export quota, and weaker Dalian edible oil and crude futures drove the decline.
Indonesia's larger export quota and rising stocks add supply while weaker crude and recession fears reduce demand for palm as a biodiesel and food oil. Lower vegetable oil prices ease feed costs but signal soft demand across commodities.
After 400 past bearish policy events, PALMOIL moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.1%), and +0.2% over 20.
