Palm Oil Futures Firm as Peak Output Collides with Growing Weather Risks
02/11/2026 (CMB News) - Palm oil futures on the Malaysian Derivatives Exchange (MDEX) are grinding higher along the forward curve, supported by strong domestic stock builds, robust production and mounting concerns over a developing Super El Niño that could curb Southeast Asian supplies into 2027. The nearby Jan 2027 contract has led gains, while the curve remains only modestly backwardated, signalling ample spot availability but rising risk premia further out. MDEX crude palm oil futures ended 30 October 2026 with broad-based gains of around 0.7–1.4% across listed months, extending a recovery from earlier-month weakness. The move comes against a backdrop of sharply higher Malaysian inventories and still-soft exports, while traders reassess downside risk in light of potential yield losses from hotter, drier weather in early 2027. The market is currently balancing heavy near-term supply against a tightening outlook, keeping volatility elevated around key fundamental headlines.
