Malaysian crude palm oil prices were set to firm on Thursday as Chinese demand rose ahead of Lunar New Year and other vegetable oil prices increased. Malaysian CPO exports rose 6-9% in December 2017, and further export growth was expected in January 2018.
China is described as the second-largest CPO importer after India.
Chinese restocking ahead of the holiday adds demand for palm oil at a time of rising exports, supporting palm oil prices. Higher vegetable oil prices also tend to lift substitutes.
Tras 133 eventos alcista de comercio pasados, Aceite de palma se movió una mediana de +0,7 % en 5 sesiones (64% al alza; mitad central entre -0,8 % y +2,3 %), y +1,7 % en 20.
