Malaysian palm oil futures edged lower after recent gains, hovering below MYR 4,600 per tonne amid a firmer ringgit and weaker demand prospects from major buyer China as the economy grew at its slowest pace in 3-1/2 years. In India, the top palm oil importer, purchases fell to a 14-month low in June as demand fell and a narrowing price discount to rival oils reduced buying interest. Meanwhile, the EU confirmed imports of palm oil derivatives will be subject to its anti-deforestation rules from December 2027. Still, losses were capped by strength in rival edible oils on the Dalian and Chicago markets, along with stronger crude oil prices after U.S. President Trump reimposed a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the B50 biodiesel mandate in Indonesia, the largest supplier, is expected to spur domestic palm oil consumption. Traders now await export data for the first half of July, after shipments rose 1.6%–5.1% in the July 1–10 period compared with the same period in June.
