Malaysian palm oil fell in overnight overseas trading, while Dalian palm oil closed lower in overnight trading with volatility. However, news that the U.S. biofuel sector may issue exemption subsidies significantly boosted rapeseed oil and the broader domestic vegetable oils market. Palm oil opened lower but then rebounded sharply to post strong gains. Before the final U.S. biofuel policy is announced, vegetable oils are expected to remain firm with a volatile bias. Market feedback this week indicated a small number of new near-month cargo purchases and vessel cancellations. CNF import margins for SeptemberOctober remained in positive territory (i.e., showing a prompt arbitrage). Attention should be paid to subsequent cargo purchases and changes in import margins. The palm oil production areas are gradually entering the seasonal production downturn, but weak export demand served as a counterbalancing factor, leaving the overseas market without a clear short-term direction.
