> Malaysian palm oil futures fell around 2–3% across contracts on November 6, with the January 2027 contract down 2.8%. High Malaysian stocks and Indonesia’s lower November reference price and export charges pressured prices, while expectations of seasonal output declines and biodiesel demand offered longer-term support.
