Malaysia kept its December 2023 crude palm oil export duty at the maximum 8% and raised the reference price to 3,589.09 ringgit per ton from 3,556.08 for November. The duty structure tops out at 8% when prices exceed 3,450 ringgit.
A maximum duty keeps Malaysian crude palm oil export margins tight and supports refined oil pricing in importing markets, while the higher reference price signals firm palm prices.
After 548 past bullish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -0.7% to +2.1%), and +0.9% over 20.
