Rabobank sees palm oil prices strengthening but staying capped at around $786

In Malaysia, Rabobank expects palm oil production to get back up to $786 per metric ton this year thanks to increased demand driven by blending mandates. Prices should go slightly higher in 2015. Demand is currently subdued due to better crushing margins from soy, including in India, but as those supplies run down there will be more demand for CPO.
