Palm Oil: India Buys Big, EU Delays Bite, and Biodiesel Shapes the Outlook StoneX 2025-10-02 | In this week’s episode of the AgriAsia Commodities Podcast, Kang Wei Cheang, Vice President at StoneX for Soft & Agricultural Commodities Asia, unpacks the shifting dynamics in the palm oil and soybean complex. Palm oil futures are under pressure as Argentina’s short-lived export tax suspension unleashed a flood of soy oil into global markets, prompting Indian buyers to secure record volumes. Meanwhile, Southeast Asian palm oil production remains uneven, with Indonesia on track to surpass 50 million tons in 2025, while Malaysia struggles with aging trees and slower yield growth. Kang Wei Cheang also breaks down how Indonesia’s biodiesel ambitions, EU trade policy delays, and India’s record vegetable oil imports will reshape flows into 2026. With biodiesel demand tightening global supplies and trade deals tilting competitive edges, both palm oil and soy oil could see firmer prices ahead despite near-term volatility. For refiners, traders, and buyers across Asia, this episode offers a strategic look at how production trends, policy shifts, and cross-commodity trade flows are setting the tone for edible oils into 2026.© 2025 StoneX Group Inc.

China’s Economic Divide: Private Sector Lifts PMIs While Official Data Stays Weak StoneX 2025-09-30 | David Scutt, FOREX.com APAC Market Analyst, examines China’s September PMI surveys, which reveal a contrast between private and state-backed firms. The RatingDog PMIs showed expansion among smaller private firms, with manufacturing hitting a six-month high and services extending their growth run. Rising orders and moderate price pressures suggest demand is steadying. In contrast, official NBS PMIs remained subdued, with manufacturing still contracting and non-manufacturing flat. The data indicates private sector strength is supporting growth and offering modest support to cyclical assets including commodities, emerging markets, and the Australian dollar. stonex.com/en/thought-leadership/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=youtube_organic&utm_campaign=youtube_stonex_globalmacro_tl&utm_content=organic_global_macro Like and subscribe for more financial market insights #StoneX #ChinaEconomy #China #ManufacturingPMI #ServicesPMI #PMI #RatingDogPMI #GlobalMarkets #EmergingMarkets #AUD #GlobalMacro #MarketAnalysis #NBS #NBSPMI
