CPO price breaches RM2,500 per tonne mark


Analysts said the sharp rally in the CPO price over the past two weeks could have been driven by panic buying due to concerns of a potential palm oil supply shortfall.

PETALING JAYA: Crude palm oil (CPO) futures extended their price rally to breach the RM2,500-per-tonne mark yesterday.

Trading was volatile, with the benchmark CPO futures for January trading from a low of RM2,470 to a high of RM2,514 per tonne, before closing RM11 lower at RM2,485 per tonne.
