Crude palm oil (CPO) futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives are likely to be higher next due to increasing demand amid tight supply, said dealers.“There is strong demand from India at the moment, which will likely result in higher CPO prices in the near term,” one of the dealers said.
Meanwhile, the growing concern over crude oil price, which is lingering at US$65 per barrel, will also boost the take-up for biodiesel and offer an advantage to CPO price, she said.
She said the price of CPO was also expected to move in line with soyoil price on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT).
