Indonesia's energy ministry is developing the technical framework for a B50 biodiesel blend, with infrastructure readiness and financing still open issues. Malaysia lowered its December crude palm oil reference price while keeping its export duty unchanged at 10%.
A higher mandatory biodiesel blend would divert more crude palm oil into fuel and tighten exportable supply, which is supportive for palm prices. Implementation timing and cost design remain uncertain, so the price impact is not yet firm.
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.
