rebounded to close higher yesterday in line with the uptrend on the
Dalian Commodity Exchange, a dealer said.
Meanwhile, Interband
Group of Companies senior palm oil trader Jim Teh said although the
volume was lower, the prices had increased as the market was influenced
by the speculators’ speculative playing.

RM3,321 and RM3,293 per tonne respectively, while August was up RM17 to
RM3,280 per tonne.
