Breaking News - RTRS-REFINED PALM OLEIN FOB MALAYSIA TO TRADE $830 A TONNE-MIELKE

KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 (Reuters) - Malaysian crude palm oil could go above 3,000 Malaysian ringgit ($901.4) a tonne if output slows, a top industry analyst said on Wednesday.
Thomas Mielke, executive director and publisher of Oil World did not give a time frame for what would be a 12.5 percent rise from current levels.
He however said that refined palm olein prices were already near highs of $840-$850 a tonne.
That also means that palm oil could go into a slight premium to soyoil after trading at a diminishing discount so far this year, Mielke added.
