Indonesia set its crude palm oil reference price at $893.23 per tonne for May 16-31, down from $955.53 for May 1-15. The new price sets the CPO export tax at $74 per tonne and the levy at $95 per tonne.
The lower reference price cuts Indonesia's export tax and makes its palm oil more competitive in export markets. This adds supply pressure on global palm oil prices.
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.
