The Oceanic Niño Index is at +2.5, indicating a strong El Niño, while rainfall across the Malaysian and Indonesian palm-growing belts is broadly normal. Normal rainfall is limiting immediate harvest and fruit-transport disruption, though drought stress could still affect yields six to twelve months later if drier conditions develop.
The current weather conditions do not point to an immediate palm supply shock, tempering near-term weather risk to palm oil prices. Potential lagged drought effects remain a future production risk, but depend on whether dry conditions emerge in the producing regions.
