Indonesia's Trade Ministry set the November 2026 reference price for crude palm oil at US$978.90 per tonne, down 6.07% from October. The cocoa reference price fell 7.33%.
The export levy on CPO remains at 12.5% of the reference price.
Lower reference prices reduce the duty base for Indonesian palm exports, but the levy structure is unchanged. Weaker palm prices modestly ease vegetable oil costs for feed and meal users.
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.
