Malaysia kept its October 2023 crude palm oil export tax at 8% and cut its reference price to 3,710.50 ringgit per tonne from 3,755.13 ringgit for September. Indonesia's export tax and levy were unchanged at US$33 and US$85 per tonne.
A lower Malaysian reference price signals softer export values and can weigh on palm oil prices. Unchanged Indonesian levies leave export costs steady.
After 400 past bearish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.1%), and +0.2% over 20.
