ROTTERDAM: Palm oil on the European vegetable oil market was offered firmer on Tuesday on the back of a deal in the Greek debt saga and on hopes for an increase in Chinese demand, market sources said.
"Several have been strong ahead of a deal to help Greece markets, and now the deal was done we saw some expected 'selling the fact', which pushed the higher levels from early in the day a bit down," one broker said.
