Palm Oil Rises on Biofuel Demand Boosted by Crude Rally

Palm oil prices extended gains for a second session, supported by a rally in crude oil triggered by heightened US-Iran tensions, which strengthened positive expectations for biofuel demand. The sharp rise in crude oil made palm oil more attractive for biofuel production, boosting demand. Market participants noted that geopolitical risks are pushing energy prices higher, reinforcing palm oil's position as an alternative fuel. Analysts stated that this movement in crude oil could continue to support palm oil prices in the short term, but other supply-demand factors must be closely monitored. In particular, production data and inventory levels in major producer countries will be decisive for price direction. This is not investment advice.
