Palm oil punches through RM3,500 to highest in 8 years


“It’s a rebound after the lackluster trade yesterday, ” said Sathia Varqa, owner of Palm Oil Analytics in Singapore. “Prices regained their footing from a better export outlook for December and lower output. Higher prices for Dalian and Chicago soybean oil are also supportive.”
