Crude Palm Oil Prices Likely to Moderate in 2026 -- Market Talk

0140 GMT - Crude palm oil prices are expected to moderate in 2026, averaging about MYR4,000/ton, TA Securities analyst Angeline Chin says in a note. Prices are likely to come under pressure from rising global output, softer demand from major buyers such as China and India, and stronger competition from alternative edible oils such as sunflower and soybean as supplies recover, she says. While higher production will likely support overall yields, the weaker pricing environment is expected to limit upstream margins, especially for higher-cost producers, she adds. TA Securities maintains a neutral rating on Malaysia's plantation sector, pegging Kuala Lumpur Kepong at buy, SD Guthrie and IOI Corp. at hold. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
