Crude palm oil prices declined by 1.09% to Rs 443.60 per 10 kg in futures trade today as speculators trimmed positions, tracking a weak trend at spot market on subdued demand.

Further, adequate stocks position in the physical market on higher arrivals from producing regions fuelled the downtrend.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in November declined by Rs 4.90, or 1.09% to Rs 443.60 per 10 kg in business turnover of 175 lots.
