# Palm steadies after steep slide; heavy stocks and Jakarta levy in focus

> Malaysian crude palm oil was quoted near RM4,205 per tonne after a recent decline. Malaysia’s September stocks rose to 2.16 million tonnes, about 83% above the five-year average, as exports fell; Indonesia also lowered its November reference price, reducing the export levy and sharpening competition.

## Why it matters

Large Malaysian inventories and weaker exports add to available supply, while Indonesia’s lower levy may make its exports more competitive. Both factors weigh on palm oil prices.
