The December 2025 palm oil futures contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange climbed RM 60 per ton or about 1.34%, settling at RM 4,530 per ton (equivalent to US$ 1,074.22) during the mid-day session — marking its highest level since August 18, 2025.
The rise in global crude oil prices came as investors shrugged off oversupply concerns following OPEC+’s decision to maintain its current production levels for next month. The stronger crude oil prices have also made palm oil increasingly attractive as a feedstock for biodiesel production.
In Indonesia, the government continues to move forward with its B50 biodiesel program, which will blend 50% palm-based biofuel into diesel by 2026. The initiative is expected to reduce diesel imports and strengthen the nation’s energy security.
Globally, soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) rose 0.33%, while China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange remained closed for the National Day holiday from October 1–8.
