First, ongoing conflicts in the Middle East with complex and volatile situations remain an important factor affecting domestic and international edible oil price trends in the short term. Second, Malaysia's palm oil inventory decline in February fell short of expectations, which is bearish for market prices; however, the significant increase in export volume in early March limits downside space for prices. Third, international crude oil prices remain at elevated levels, with multiple organizations calling for their countries to increase biodiesel blending ratios, and U.S. biodiesel policy is expected to be released before the end of March—attention should be paid to the implementation of each country's biofuel policies.

First, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East continue to be complex and volatile, remaining an important short-term factor affecting domestic and international oilseed and oil prices. Second, Malaysia’s palm oil stockpiles in February declined less than expected, which is bearish for market prices; however, the significant increase in exports in early March limits the downside potential. Third, international crude oil prices remain high, with several organizations calling for increased blending ratios of bio-kerosene, and the U.S. bio-kerosene policy is expected to be announced by the end of March. Attention should be paid to the implementation of biofuel policies in various countries (National Grain and Oil Information Center).
