Indonesia set its April 2021 crude palm oil reference price at US$1,093.83 per tonne, up 5.56% from March. The export duty for April was raised to US$116 per tonne from US$93, and cocoa bean reference prices also rose.
A higher reference price and duty raise Indonesian export costs, supporting palm oil prices and encouraging buyers to shift toward Malaysian supply.
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.
