No oil is purely one or the other, they are all mixtures. Palm oil has about the same amount of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. Palm oil contains very little polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Actually it depends on the oil. Vegetable and olive oils are unsaturated, while coconut and palm kernel oils contain saturated fat.

Is vegetable oil high in polyunsaturated fats?
The lipid composition of plant-derived oils differ depending on the source. Some plant oils contain more saturated fat than unsaturated. These include palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil. Other oils, such as sunflower and soybean oil contain mainly polyunsaturated fat and canola and olive oil is rich in mono-unsaturated oil. Margarine is produced by partially hydrogenating the unsaturated fats, to make them more solid, so part of the health benefit of these oils is then lost.
