Continued EU allowance for palm biodiesel would support demand for palm oil, while a tighter outcome would cut it, so the decision bears directly on palm oil pricing.
After 513 past neutral policy events, Palm Oil moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
