Malaysian September palm oil production rose 16.5% month over month to 2.12 million tonnes, while closing stocks climbed 31.9% to 2.16 million tonnes; exports fell 12.1%. Indonesia is also considering changes to export levies and regulations, while the article reports that rainfall across palm-growing areas is broadly normal.
High Malaysian inventories, stronger output and weaker exports point to abundant supply and pressure on palm oil prices. A reduction in Indonesia’s export levy could make its supplies more competitive, adding to that pressure.
After 96 past bearish report events, Palm Oil moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.6%), and -0.9% over 20.
