Prices in the domestic and export markets traded unchanged.
Crude palm oil price traded unchanged at RM1,426.50  with  the  highest traded price at RM1,450.00.  RBD palm olein also traded unchanged at US$422.00.  Prices were unchanged due to the ‘leveling off’ of the following factors:
>> Bullish MPOB April palm oil data, higher exports up by 4.6% to 1.23 million tonnes and lower stock level own by 4.8% to 1.5 million tonnes.
>> Firmer CBOT soyabean oil futures and BMD CPO price sentiment.      
>> However, the stronger Ringgit against the US dollar, pressured downward palm oil prices.
>> Coupled with this was the lower SGS export data for the first 15 days of May, down by 1.6% to 527,713 tonnes.
         
Crude palm oil export duty.
>> For the current week 15/05/2006 –21/05/2006, the CPO export duty payable is RM202.94/ tonne.
