Summary by Directory 3.1 First Part: Futures Market Review - Factors affecting palm oil prices include the promotion of Indonesia's B40 policy, Sino - Canadian trade relations, changes in palm oil's cost - effectiveness, production and inventory in the origin, international crude oil prices, and the US biodiesel policy. These factors have led to fluctuations in palm oil prices, including price increases, decreases, and continuous weakening [7]. 3.2 Second Part: Domestic and International Supply - Demand Situation 3.2.1 Production - Malaysian palm oil production: High - frequency data shows continuous production increases. From the 1st to the 20th of October, production increased by 10.77% compared to the same period in September. From the 1st to the 25th of October, the yield per unit area increased by 1.63% month - on - month, the oil extraction rate increased by 0.22% month - on - month, and production increased by 2.78% month - on - month. However, due to environmental regulations, land constraints, and an aging tree population, the growth rate of the planting area has slowed down, and overall production is below 20 million tons. The production increase season window is narrowing, and production may not continue to rise after November [12][13]. - Indonesian palm oil production: As of August 2025, the crude palm oil production reached 35.65 million tons, a 13% increase year - on - year. The total palm oil production, including palm kernel oil, was 39.03 million tons, also a 13% increase year - on - year. It is estimated that the annual production will increase by about 10%, reaching 56 - 57 million tons [18]. 3.2.2 Consumption - Indonesian palm oil consumption: From January to August 2025, the cumulative consumption was 16.406 million tons, a 5.37% increase year - on - year. Among them, edible consumption was 6.579 million tons, a 1.29% decrease year - on - year, and biodiesel consumption was 8.343 million tons, a 12.42% increase year - on - year. It is expected that if B50 is implemented in 2026, biodiesel consumption will increase by about 3.5 million tons [33][37]. - Domestic palm oil consumption: The cost - effectiveness of palm oil is poor, and the spot and futures price spreads between soybean oil and palm oil are inverted. As a result, palm oil consumption remains at a basic level, and its market share is occupied by competing oils such as soybean oil [74][78]. 3.2.3 Export - Indonesian palm oil export: From January to August 2025, export revenue increased by 43% year - on - year to $24.79 billion, and export volume increased by 15% year - on - year to 22.69 million tons, supported by improved production and stronger global palm oil prices [41]. - Malaysian palm oil export: From October 1st to 25th, 2025, the export volume was 1.2838 million tons, a 0.36% decrease month - on - month, with average export performance [45]. 3.2.4 Inventory - Malaysian palm oil inventory: It shows a seasonal inventory build - up trend, and the inventory is at a high level in the same period in recent years. However, as the production increase season window narrows, the inventory build - up speed may slow down [59]. - Indonesian palm oil inventory: Due to strong biodiesel consumption and good export demand, the inventory is at a low level [59]. - Domestic palm oil inventory: The inventory build - up trend has slowed down. The inventory has risen from a previous low level, and the basis is under pressure [84]. 3.3 Third Part: Supply - Demand Balance Sheet No specific balance sheet data and analysis content are provided in the text. 3.4 Fourth Part: Seasonal and Technical Analysis 3.4.1 Technical Analysis - The recent top pattern of palm oil futures prices has formed, and the moving averages have turned into a short - term bearish arrangement, showing a bearish trend in technical analysis [102]. 3.4.2 Seasonal Analysis No specific seasonal analysis content is provided in the text. 3.5 Fifth Part: Futures and Options Future Market Outlook - Short - term: Slightly weak and bottom - building. - Medium - to - long - term: Upward.
