NEW DELHI, June 18: Continuing its rising streak for the fourth straight session crude palm oil prices rose further 0.58 per cent to Rs 523.20 per 10 kg in futures trade today as speculators engaged in enlarging positions following rising demand in the spot market.
Besides, restricted supplies from producing regions also supported the upside.

The oil for delivery in July contracts traded higher by the same margin to Rs 521.20 per 10 kg in 62 lots.
