Malaysian palm oil futures strengthened, hovering above MYR 4,650 per tonne and halting recent losses amid weaker ringgit and firmer rival edible oils on the Dalian and Chicago exchanges. Prices also found support from a modest rebound in crude oil prices, due to lingering uncertainty over diplomatic efforts to end the U.S.-Iran conflict, which continued to underpin the biofuel outlook. Optimism over exports further lifted the market, with cargo surveyors noting Malaysian palm oil shipments in July rose between 12.1% and 19.5% from June. Support also came from top grower Indonesia, where exports of palm oil rose 2.5% yoy in H1 2026, while stronger purchases by the world’s largest consumer India are expected between July and October ahead of the festive season. However, gains were capped by Reuters forecasts that inventories likely hit a five-month high in July. Caution also grew ahead of China’s July trade data, which could provide fresh clues on demand from major palm oil consumers.
