Malaysia's palm oil industry outlook for 2024 was presented at the R&O seminar. MPOB projects crude palm oil prices averaging RM3,900 to RM4,200 per tonne versus RM3,809.50 in 2023, citing Indonesia's B35 biodiesel mandate and tight soybean supply.
Expected B35 biodiesel demand and tight soybean output support higher palm oil prices and reduce available exportable supply for feed and food buyers.
After 149 past bullish report events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.8% over 20.
After 296 past bullish report events, Soybean Oil moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.8% to +2.0%), and -0.5% over 20.
After 747 past bullish report events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.1%), and +0.8% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
MPOB's bullish 2024 price outlook (B35 mandate, tight soybean supply) on 2024-02-29 supports sentiment and could contribute to buying.
