Palm oil prices seen flip-flopping midway through 2015

In Malaysia, palm oil prices are expected to suffer schizophrenia this year with the first half seeing higher prices underpinned by increasing demand and lower production while they are expected to flip-flop in the latter half of the year, potentially reaching six-year lows. Growing soy oil supplies mixed with lower petroleum prices are expected to dampen demand for palm oil as a biodiesel feedstock.
