# Highlight: CPO futures fall

> Malaysian crude palm oil futures fell 2.2% to RM2,294 per tonne after news that Indonesia would lower its CPO export tax from 10.5% to 9% the following month. An analyst said Malaysia was likely to keep its export tax unchanged through the election, potentially leaving Indonesia with a tax advantage and contributing to higher Malaysian stocks.
