Malaysian palm oil futures fell 1.84% to 3,795 ringgit per tonne on Monday after gaining nearly 5% the previous Friday. Malaysian exports for October 1-15 were reported sluggish, with ITS showing a 4% drop while AmSpec showed a 1.9% gain.
Indonesia set its October 16-31 crude palm oil export tax at $3 per tonne, down from $33.
The lower Indonesian export tax should attract buyers and add export competition, while weak Malaysian shipment data weighs on near-term palm prices.
