Malaysian palm oil futures inched higher to trade around MYR 4,650 per tonne, recovering from recent weakness amid a softer ringgit and firmer rival edible oils on the Dalian and Chicago exchanges. Sentiment was further lifted by stronger export prospects, with cargo surveyors estimating Malaysian palm oil shipments in July rose between 12.1% and 19.5% from the same period in June. Prices also drew support from higher biodiesel blending mandates in Indonesia and Malaysia, weather-related risks to Malaysia’s 2027 output, and expectations of stronger imports by the world’s largest importer, India, between July and October ahead of the festive season. In China, another key buyer, the central bank pledged to maintain ample liquidity after last week’s Politburo meeting, raising hopes for firmer demand. However, gains remained limited as Dalian palm olein softened and crude oil prices eased after U.S. President Trump refrained from launching a fresh attack on Iran.
