InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – Crude palm oil (CPO) prices at PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (KPBN) posted modest gains on Friday, even as palm oil futures in Malaysia closed lower amid pressure from declining crude oil and soybean oil prices.
According to data obtained by InfoSAWIT from KPBN, the domestic CPO price was set at Rp15,450 per kilogram on Friday (June 12, 2026), representing an increase of Rp50 per kilogram, or approximately 0.32 percent, from Rp15,400 per kilogram recorded on Thursday (June 11, 2026).
The Franco Dumai CPO tender price was established at Rp15,450/kg, while the FOB Talang Duku price reached Rp15,250/kg.
However, sentiment in the international market moved in the opposite direction. Crude palm oil futures on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD) ended Friday's trading session in negative territory, weighed down by weaker global crude oil prices and declining soybean oil futures on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT).
According to Bernama, the June 2026 CPO contract fell by RM74 to RM4,387 per tonne, while the July 2026 contract declined by the same amount to RM4,435 per tonne.
Losses extended across other benchmark contracts. The August 2026 contract slipped RM76 to RM4,475 per tonne, while the September 2026 contract fell RM81 to RM4,511 per tonne.
Meanwhile, the October 2026 contract dropped RM88 to RM4,544 per tonne, and the November 2026 contract recorded the steepest decline of the day, falling RM90 to close at RM4,571 per tonne.
Despite the downward trend in prices, trading activity surged significantly. Market volume rose to 119,170 lots, more than doubling from 59,067 lots traded during Thursday's session.
Open interest also increased, reaching 283,511 contracts, compared with 277,876 contracts in the previous trading session. The higher open interest suggests that market participants continue to show strong engagement in palm oil futures despite short-term price volatility.
In the physical market, spot CPO prices for June delivery declined by RM50 to RM4,470 per tonne.

The contrasting movements between Indonesia's domestic market and Malaysia's futures exchange underscore the complex dynamics shaping the palm oil industry. While local tender prices continue to benefit from solid demand, global markets remain sensitive to developments in competing vegetable oils and broader commodity trends.
Market participants are expected to closely monitor upcoming supply-and-demand indicators, as well as external factors influencing edible oil markets, for further direction in CPO price movements. (T2)
