Rising for the fourth straight day, crude palm oil prices advanced by 1.33 per cent to Rs 418 per 10 kg in futures trading today as speculators enlarged positions amid rising demand in the spot market.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in December month moved up by Rs 5.50, or 1.33 per cent to Rs 418 per 10 kg in business turnover of 379 lots.

The January contract gained Rs 4.80, or 1.14 per cent to Rs 427 per 10 kg in 131 lots.
