Crude palm oil prices fell 0.77% to Rs 503.20 per 10 kg in futures trade today as participants cut down their bets, tracking a weak trend at spot market on subdued demand.

In addition, adequate stocks position on higher supplies from producing regions and weak trend at overseas markets also fuelled the downtrend.
