Meanwhile, crude palm oil futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives weakened during Friday’s session, pressured by declines in soyoil prices and concerns over potential oversupply in the global market.
The benchmark May 2026 CPO contract fell RM12 per ton, or about 0.29%, to RM4,105 per ton at the midday break.
Despite the daily decline, the contract remained up roughly 2% on a weekly basis and was on track to snap a two-week losing streak.

In the broader vegetable oil market, soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade slipped around 0.5%, weighing on palm oil sentiment. Trading activity on China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange remained suspended due to the Lunar New Year holiday.
Market participants are also awaiting export estimates from cargo surveyors for Malaysian palm oil products, which could provide additional direction for price movements in the coming days.
The divergence between a firmer domestic tender and softer Malaysian futures highlights ongoing volatility in the palm oil market, with external vegetable oil trends and export data likely to shape near-term price direction. (P2)
