CPO Futures Mostly Firmer, Spurred by Soyoil
CRUDE palm oil (CPO) futures prices on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives
ended mostly higher yesterday amid positive sentiment spurred by a rally
in the US soyaoil market due to shortage of supply, dealers said.
“The
market ended up in bullish trend due to soyaoil gains. The benchmark
three-month contract, October 2010 hit a 15-month high at RM2,718 per
tonne,” one of the dealers said.
At close, the contract month for
August 2010 was down RM14 to settle at RM2,795 per tonne while
