RHB Research maintained its neutral call on the regional plantation sector after Indonesia changed cooking oil and palm oil rules. The changes removed the cooking oil price ceiling, revoked a 30% domestic market obligation, and raised the CPO export tax and levy ceiling to $575 a tonne.
Higher export taxes and levies are expected to support global CPO prices by reducing Indonesian exports, though the broker sees limited net change for the sector.
After 513 past neutral policy events, PALMOIL moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
