InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – The crude palm oil (CPO) price set by PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (KPBN) was fixed at Rp14,208/kg on Thursday (February 12, 2026), marking a decline of Rp180/kg or around 1.25% compared to Wednesday’s price of Rp14,388/kg.

According to information obtained by InfoSAWIT from KPBN, the Franco Belawan & Dumai CPO price was set at Rp14,208/kg. Meanwhile, the Loco Sei Tapung price opened at Rp13,969/kg but was later withdrawn, with the highest bid recorded at Rp13,761/kg.

According to Reuters, as published online by InfoSAWIT, CPO futures on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange closed lower for a third consecutive session on Thursday (February 12, 2026). The decline was pressured by a stronger ringgit and weaker vegetable oil markets in Dalian, coupled with the absence of fresh bullish catalysts from a major industry conference in Kuala Lumpur.

The benchmark April 2026 CPO contract on Bursa Malaysia fell RM24 per ton, or 0.59%, to RM4,037 per ton, equivalent to approximately US$1,035.39 per ton.

The Malaysian ringgit, the trading currency for palm oil, strengthened by 0.31% against the US dollar, making Malaysian palm oil relatively more expensive for buyers holding foreign currencies.

On the Dalian Commodity Exchange, the most active soyoil contract slipped 0.22%, while palm oil futures dropped more sharply by 1.5%. In contrast, soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade rose 0.81%.

Market participants are also closely monitoring discussions from the Price Outlook Conference (POC) in Kuala Lumpur. However, analysts noted that no strong bullish signals have emerged to reverse the short-term downward trend.

With both external and domestic pressures at play, Malaysian CPO prices remain under pressure as the market searches for clearer direction amid global vegetable oil volatility. (T2)
