Indonesia's finance ministry is reported to be cutting the maximum crude palm oil export levy, which would fall to $175/mt when reference prices exceed $1,000/mt. The change is expected to lift exporter margins and expedite exports.
A lower export levy widens the margin between Indonesian and world palm oil prices, which can pull more Indonesian supply into export markets and support international palm oil 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.
