Malaysian palm oil futures fell 7.5% on 21 April to their lowest since August 2019, following a collapse in US crude oil futures that settled negative the previous day. Palm oil's biodiesel demand weakened as the energy price slump made palm-based biodiesel uneconomic against gas oil.
Chinese soyabean oil and palm oil futures also fell on the Dalian exchange.
Palm oil prices are closely tied to crude oil through biodiesel blending economics, so the energy price collapse removes a key demand support and points to continued price weakness.

The crude oil collapse made palm biodiesel uneconomic and weakened a key demand channel, but the 7.5% fall was on 21 April, before the 5-day window, so it is background pressure.
