Malaysian palm oil prices fell amid higher production and stocks and lower exports in September: output rose 16.5% month on month to 2.12 million tonnes, stocks increased 31.9% to 2.16 million tonnes, and exports declined 12.1% to 1.12 million tonnes. The recap also reports a roughly 9% weekly price decline and notes that Indonesia’s weaker currency is making its export offers more competitive.
Rising Malaysian supply and stocks, combined with falling exports, add pressure to palm oil prices; competitive Indonesian offers add to supply-side competition. These factors are bearish for palm oil in the near term.
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.
