InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA — Indonesia’s crude palm oil (CPO) auction prices at PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (KPBN) recorded a slight increase on Monday (January 19, 2026), while Malaysian palm oil futures moved lower amid mixed policy signals from China and Indonesia.
KPBN set its CPO price at Rp14,400/kg, up Rp45/kg or around 0.31%, compared with Rp14,355/kg recorded on Thursday (January 15, 2026).
Based on information obtained by InfoSAWIT from KPBN, the following prices were recorded:
Franco Dumai: Rp14,400/kg (EUP)
FOB Talang Duku: Rp14,200/kg (Prisco)
FOB Palembang: opened at Rp14,250/kg but was withdrawn (WD), with the highest bid at Rp14,169/kg (AGM)
Meanwhile, Malaysian palm oil futures declined on Monday, pressured by China’s decision to reduce import tariffs on Canadian canola and Indonesia’s move to cancel plans to roll out the B50 biodiesel mandate this year. However, seasonal demand ahead of major festive periods helped prevent deeper losses.
According to Reuters, the benchmark April 2026 palm oil contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange fell RM15 per ton or 0.37% to RM4,057 per ton by midday, equivalent to US$1,000.99. The contract had previously gained 2.31% on Friday’s close.
On the fundamentals side, support continued to come from seasonal demand ahead of several major consumption events, including Lunar New Year, Ramadan, and the upcoming low production season. The combination of these factors is believed to help keep palm oil prices supported at certain levels.
Market participants are also awaiting the latest export estimates. On Tuesday, several cargo surveyors are scheduled to release Malaysia’s palm oil export figures for the period January 1–20, which often serve as an early indicator of demand strength.
Other edible oils traded in a mixed direction. Dalian’s most active soyoil contract rose 0.45%, while Dalian palm oil gained 0.3%. The Chicago Board of Trade soyoil market was closed due to a national holiday.
