Asia Biofuels Update: Palm Oil Rises Over the Week; Monthly Decline Expected

Malaysian palm oil futures rose for a third straight session on Friday, following an overnight increase in rival Chicago soybean oil, bringing weekly gains to more than 1%.The Bursa Malaysia Derivatives' June crude palm oil contract was up 0.74% to 4,495 Malaysian ringgit ($1,136.39) per metric ton in midday trade. The July palm oil contract edged higher by 0.33% to 4,520 ringgit/mt.However, futures declined over the month by around 1%, as weaker exports weighed on sentiment and as crude oil prices eased on peace deal hopes between the US and Iran.Malaysian ringgit also firmed against the US dollar by a further 0.1% in May, following a 2% gain in April. This kept Malaysian export cargoes costlier for international buyers.For the May 1-25 period, Malaysian shipments were estimated to have declined between 14.5% and 18.0% from a month earlier, according to cargo surveyors cited by Trading Economics.Demand for Malaysian palm oil may increase as Indonesia tightens its oversight of shipments by routing exports of palm oil and other commodities to a state-backed entity.In India, world's top palm oil importer, "refiners have already begun internal scenario planning for accelerated Malaysian palm oil sourcing, increased domestic crush of soybean and rapeseed, and renewed evaluation of South American soybean oil contracts," Globoil Intelligence said, as buyers start diversifying their procurement strategies.While tightening global supply will support palm oil prices going forward, Indonesia's export revamp could weigh on margins and valuation of plantation firms, which have already seen a decline in shares following the announcement, analysts said.Indonesia's new export policy is reportedly slated to begin in September, according to Trading Economics, while its mandate to increase palm-based biodiesel blending to 50% from the current 40% is set to start in July.In Malaysia, the government will begin rolling out a new biodiesel blend mandate of 15% in June. This is up from the current blending ratio of 10%.

Oil Stockpiles Nearing 'Unheard of' Levels, Prices to Rise Further, Exxon Mobil's Chapman Says

Oil inventories are nearing "unheard of" levels that will lead to increased prices in the next few weeks, Neil Chapman, senior vice president of Exxon Mobil (XOM), said Thursday at the Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference in New York."I mean, really, really low levels," he said, according to a transcript of the event. "You can debate whether that's going to hit those really low levels in two weeks or three weeks. Once you get to that point, then you'll see price shoot up."Dated Brent futures will rise to $150 or $160 per barrel when inventories hit their lowest, Chapman said. That will ultimately lead to demand destruction."Prices go so high, becomes unaffordable, and that's what happens," he said.Rising crude futures naturally inflate the price consumers pay at the pump, but the cost of everything from fertilizers to plastics to food to will increase as oil prices climb, Chapman said."People think of crude oil as the source of gasoline. Well, of course it is," he said. "And people say, when crude oil goes to $150, gasoline price will be $9 in California, and that will be a serious issue. It's much, much more than that."He added that crude is an important feedstock for many other products."Crude oil goes into virtually everything around us. Fertilizers comes from crude oil and gas. Food prices, they will reflect the absence or the lack. Plastics, everything you see in the world is plastics. Delivery. Amazon. Still a lot of trucks around the country are running on diesel. So the crude oil price impacts so many parts of society," he said.
