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.
Após 133 eventos altista de comércio passados, Óleo de palma subiu em mediana +0,7% em 5 sessões (64% de alta; metade central de -0,8% a +2,3%), e +1,7% em 20.

Rising December exports and expected Chinese pre-Lunar New Year buying, plus firmer other vegetable oils, supported demand and prices.
