Crude palm oil prices declined by Rs 2.80 to Rs 433.40 per 10 kg in futures trade today as participants booked profits amid a weak trend overseas.
Also, subdued demand in the spot markets put pressure on the oil prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, the November contract for crude palm oil declined by Rs 2.80, or 0.64%, to Rs 433.40 per 10 kg, with a business turnover of 310 lots.
The October contract shed Rs 1.20, or 0.28%, to Rs 424.80 per 10 kg, with a business turnover of 99 lots.
