A what‑if from the future

What if Malaysia palm-to-biofuel mandate lifts CPO demand and prices?

Higher domestic biodiesel blending (B40+) and SAF feedstock demand tighten palm-oil balances, lifting CPO prices and Malaysian plantation earnings; food-inflation, clean-energy demand and the ringgit firm.

The butterfly cascade

How this trigger trickles across markets, left → right — the root shock, its first‑order moves, then the ripple effects. Drag any node; tap a market for its real price history.

Resolution timeline — how this probability is moving

Our model's odds (gold) over time vs the crowd's (Polymarket, blue), from the past toward the 1–3 years horizon. Each dot is a real macro event that nudged the probability — green pushed it up, red pushed it down. Tap a dot for the source. The gold path is an illustrative reconstruction anchored to today's estimate — real dated events, not a live re-estimate history.

What it would mean

If this plays out, it is a mixed shock. Higher domestic biodiesel blending (B40+) and SAF feedstock demand tighten palm-oil balances, lifting CPO prices and Malaysian plantation earnings; food-inflation, clean-energy demand and the ringgit firm. The trigger decomposes into signed root‑shocks — EM currencies ▲ · Clean-energy abundance ▲ · Food inflation ▲ · Risk appetite ▲ — which propagate through our causal graph to the markets below.

If it happens — the markets it would move

Biggest moves first. Projected moves are cascade-model priors; hist A–B% = what comparable past events actually did (measured abnormal returns), and model prior · unmeasured marks markets with no analogue backing yet. Tap any market for its price history.

Probable recommendation

Historical precedent — what analogous events actually did

Across 40 analogous events (overlap‑weighted), as abnormal returns — market beta stripped, so it's the event's own effect, not the market backdrop. Shown at 20 days (persistent) and 5 days (immediate); ↺ fades = the two horizons disagree. Confidence = consistency × sample × significance.
