CPO Futures Rebound Amid Firmer Crude Oil Prices

By K. Naveen Prabu

KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 (Bernama) -- Crude palm oil (CPO) futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives rebounded to close higher on Wednesday, tracking gains in crude oil prices amid escalating tensions in West Asia.

Iceberg X Sdn Bhd proprietary trader David Ng said recent robust export performance also lifted market sentiment and is expected to remain a positive factor in the near term.

“We see prices supported above RM4,600 per tonne and resistance at RM4,750 per tonne,” he told Bernama.

Meanwhile, Fastmarkets Palm Oil Analytics senior analyst Sathia Varqa said optimism over Indonesia's final allocation and appointment of suppliers for its B50 biodiesel programme also supported CPO futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives.

“The development reaffirms expectations of higher domestic CPO consumption in Indonesia, allowing Malaysia to recapture part of the export market share,” he said.
