Malaysian palm oil futures hit a five-month high on Sept 27, 2024, with the December contract up 2.7% to 4,152 ringgit a ton. Strong Indian demand ahead of the festive season and production concerns in Malaysia and Indonesia drove the rally, and the contract was up 11% over seven sessions.
Robust Indian restocking and tightening palm output expectations support prices, and a weather-driven production peak in October could extend the rally.
