Malaysia’s palm oil stocks rose for a seventh consecutive month to a record 3.62 million tonnes in October 2026, as production gains outweighed stronger exports. Analysts expect inventories to remain high through the end of 2026, then decline in early 2027 as seasonal production growth slows; El Niño-related dry weather and firm biofuel demand could tighten supply further.
Elevated inventories are weighing on near-term CPO prices, while a seasonal stock draw and potential weather-related production losses could lend support in early 2027.
After 29 past bearish weather events, Palm Oil moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (38% higher; middle half -2.2% to +0.6%), and -1.4% over 20.
