A firming trend in global markets also influenced the crude palm oil futures prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, the December crude palm oil rose by Rs 4.50, or 0.84% to Rs 541.10 per 10 kg, with a business turnover of just two lots.
Similarly, the oil for delivery in January gained Rs 3.50, or 0.65%, to Rs 544.60 per 10 kg, with a trade volume of 72 lots.
