Alongside Bursa Malaysia Derivatives
(BMD)’s FCPO contract, the global price
benchmark for crude palm oil, a new
USD-denominated contract, cash-settled
to the physically-delivered FCPO, is
now also available to the global trading
community on CME Globex.

With Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME)
launch of the Crude Palm Oil Futures (CPO)
contracts, CME Group customers will be able to
trade the world’s most consumed edible oil in a
cash-settled, USD-denominated contract, with
the safety and liquidity of CME Globex.
The CME CPO contract, as a USD-denominated
palm oil futures contract, complements the
existing Malaysian MYR-denominated Crude
Palm Oil Futures (FCPO) contract. CPO is a
cash-settled contract which does not involve
physical delivery of the underlying crude palm oil.
CPO also consolidates Malaysia’s position as the
leading price discovery centre for palm oil traded
globally. Additionally, now that BMD utilizes
CME Globex as its electronic trading platform for
futures, including the Malaysian FCPO contract,
customers can more easily engage in spreading
and arbitrage opportunities between the CME
CPO and the BMD FCPO contracts.
This expansion of the edible oil product suite
also creates opportunities for cross-trading with
soybean oil based on the historically strong
correlation between these products and global
supply and demand models. Together, crude palm
oil and soybean oil account for about 61 percent
of all the edible oil in the world, with palm kernel
oil accounting for an additional 4 percent of oil
consumed.
