InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – Crude palm oil (CPO) prices at PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (KPBN) remained in a withdrawn (WD) position on Tuesday (January 6, 2026), despite a slight increase in the highest bid price.

KPBN data obtained by InfoSAWIT showed that the highest CPO bid reached Rp14,100 per kilogram, up Rp23/kg or around 0.16 percent compared to Monday’s (December 5, 2025) highest bid of Rp14,077/kg.

CPO prices for the Franco Dumai delivery opened at Rp14,150/kg but were withdrawn, with the highest bid recorded at Rp14,100/kg. Meanwhile, FOB Franco Talang Duku opened at Rp13,950/kg and was also withdrawn, with the highest bid at Rp13,900/kg.

According to Reuters, Malaysian palm oil futures closed lower on Tuesday, pressured by a stronger ringgit that offset positive sentiment from rising prices of rival vegetable oils on the Dalian exchange. Market participants adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of the release of official data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board next week.

As reported by Reuters and published online by InfoSAWIT, the benchmark March CPO contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange fell RM22 per metric ton, or 0.55 percent, to settle at RM3,992 per ton.

In the Dalian Commodity Exchange, the most-active soyoil contract rose 0.71 percent, while palm oil futures edged up 0.09 percent. In contrast, soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade slipped 0.1 percent.

From a fundamental perspective, Malaysian palm oil inventories are expected to rise to their highest level in nearly seven years in December 2025, driven by a surge in production that outpaced modest export growth.

In key consumer markets, India’s palm oil imports fell to an eight-month low in December 2025, as weaker winter demand and a shift toward competing oils such as soyoil and sunflower oil dampened purchases, according to five traders. (T2)
