Indonesia is not expected to quickly take over Malaysia's palm oil export market, even though Malaysia has suspended plantation work in six districts after COVID-19 cases among workers. Key buyers such as India and Europe are under lockdown, and Chinese demand has not fully recovered.
Expected Malaysian supply disruption is limited by weak demand, so the market stays tight without a clear price gain for Indonesian exports.
After 67 past neutral trade events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.3%), and +0.6% over 20.
