Sime Darby Plantation expects crude palm oil prices to firm between April and August 2019 to RM2,250-2,450 per tonne, while not expecting prices above RM2,002 in March. The company cited strong demand from China and India, but also pressure from the US-China trade war, the EU biofuel proposal and Indonesian surplus output.
A forecast of firmer palm oil prices from the largest plantation company supports the price outlook from mid-year, though near-term prices are expected to stay soft.
