Malaysian palm oil futures on the MDEX eased about 1% on November 4 after recent highs. Analysts cite heavy stocks, weaker European biofuel demand and ample soy and canola oil supplies.
Prices are consolidating after October levels of roughly MYR 4,600 to 4,800 per ton.
Heavy inventories and weaker European biofuel offtake limit palm's upside in the short term. Abundant competing oils keep palm priced at a discount, which favours cheaper fats for feed use.
