PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA — Malaysian crude palm oil (CPO) futures closed mixed on Monday (September 14, 2026), with gains concentrated in nearby contracts as profit-taking capped the broader advance and pushed some longer-dated contracts lower.
According to Bernama, the September 2026 CPO contract rose RM47 to RM4,597 per metric ton, while the October contract also gained RM47 to RM4,717 per ton.

The November 2026 contract increased RM36 to RM4,850 per ton, while December gained RM14 to RM4,958 per ton.
However, the positive trend did not extend across the forward curve. The January 2027 contract fell RM4 to RM5,052 per ton, while February 2027 declined RM16 to RM5,132 per ton.
The mixed performance reflected profit-taking after prices moved higher earlier in the session. Market participants were also monitoring developments in global vegetable oil supply and demand, key drivers of CPO prices.
