Supported by rising demand in the spot markets, crude palm oil traded higher by 0.24 per cent at Rs 539.10 per 10 kg in futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in May rose by Rs 1.30, or 0.24 per cent, to Rs 539.10 per 10 kg in business turnover of 97 lots.
