PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – Crude palm oil (CPO) prices at PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (KPBN) Inacom ended in a withdraw (WD) on Monday (Jan 5, 2026), with the highest bid recorded at IDR 14,077 per kg. This marks a decline of IDR 208 per kg, or about 1.46%, compared with the previous trading session on Tuesday (Dec 23, 2025), when prices reached IDR 14,285 per kg.

The benchmark March CPO contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose 21 ringgit, or 0.53%, to RM 4,012 per metric ton on Monday (Jan 5, 2026). Despite the daily gain, the contract still posted a weekly decline of 2.42% in the previous week.

A survey conducted on Monday indicated that Malaysia’s palm oil inventories in December likely climbed to their highest level in nearly seven years, as strong monthly production outpaced relatively modest improvements in exports.

Regionally, Indonesia reported solid export performance. Official statistics showed that exports of crude and refined palm oil from January to November last year reached 20.85 million tons, up 4.32% year-on-year.

However, gains in Malaysia were capped by weakness in China. The most-active soybean oil contract in Dalian slipped 0.13%, while palm oil futures fell a sharper 1.44%, limiting upward momentum for Malaysian CPO prices.
