NEW DELHI, Apr 28: Crude palm oil prices rose by 0.85 per cent to Rs 569.40 per 10 kg in futures trade today as speculators enlarged positions, driven by rising demand in the spot market against tight supply.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in May moved up by Rs 4.80, or 0.85 per cent, to Rs 569.40 per 10 kg in a business turnover of 317 lots.
