Traders had began to worry on supply constraints again after the release of news that palm oil production will continue to struggle in the next few months and may not even hit strong double digit peaks this years with the current hot and dry weather hurts yields. The subsequent rose of Dalian palm and eCBOT soy oil during Asian time trading had further enhanced some buying support in CPO market.
