PETALING JAYA: Crude palm oil (CPO) prices are expected to remain volatile in 2026, but most analysts see a broadly supportive trading band anchored by structural biofuel demand, seasonal restocking and disciplined supply growth.
While near-term weakness persists amid high inventories, the medium-term outlook points to prices stabilising around RM4,000-RM4,200 per tonne, shaping a selective investment strategy across Malaysia’s plantation sector.
