On the February 12, 2026 trading session, the Crude Palm Oil (CPO) market experienced a synchronized correction across both domestic and global benchmarks. The KPBN (Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara) tender recorded a significant drop to Rp 14,208 per kg, falling by Rp 180/kg compared to the previous day. This downturn aligns with the bearish sentiment from the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD), which also closed lower at RM 4,045 per tonne, reflecting a momentum slowdown across the regional supply chain.
In light of the current palm oil oil price trends, market participants are adopting a cautious stance. The price decline to RM 4,045 in Malaysia today indicates that short-term volatility continues to dominate the market. For decision-makers, monitoring this corrected crude palm oil price is crucial for determining the right entry points for procurement strategies and export contracts.
The CPO price in Malaysia, acting as the global barometer, is currently under pressure due to projected stock increases and slowing demand from key markets. Meanwhile, fluctuations in the palm oil price in India remain a critical external factor to watch, as BMD’s softening is often triggered by import volume adjustments in major destination countries.
Amidst the price correction, the physical palm oil price per 1kg is estimated to hold around $1.15. As an operational note, 1 litre of palm oil has a specific gravity of approximately 0.9 kg. Therefore, the palm oil price 1 litre will technically remain lower than the per-kilogram benchmark—a vital detail for margin calculations in downstream industries.
