Crude palm oil prices rose 0.67 per cent to Rs 559.90 per 10 kg in futures trade today as participants created fresh bets, supported by pick-up in demand in the spot market.
A firming trend in overseas markets also fuelled the uptrend.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in February rose Rs 3.70, or 0.67 per cent, to Rs 559.90 per 10 kg in business turnover of 192 lots.
Similarly, the oil for delivery in March went up by Rs 3.20, or 0.57 per cent, to Rs 562.50 per 10 kg in 89 lots.
