Palm oil prices rally to a new high, benchmark above RM4,400 a tonne


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD) extended its rally to closed higher today, hitting a fresh all-time high of above RM4,400 a tonne for the July benchmark contract.

Palm oil trader David Ng said the upbeat performance was due to concerns over weak production and lower stockpile in the country ahead of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) report due out next week which supported the prices of the golden crop.
