Crude palm oil prices declined by 0.69 per cent to Rs 561 per 10 kg in futures market today as speculators reduced exposure, taking negative cues from the spot market on subdued demand.
Besides, sufficient stocks position following higher supplies from the producing belts too fuelled the downtrend.
In futures trading at the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in the current month fell by Rs 3.90, or 0.69 per cent, to Rs 561 per 10 kg in a business turnover of 86 lots.
Likewise, the oil for delivery in March was trading lower by Re 1, or 0.17 per cent, to Rs 568 per 10 kg in 17 lots.
Analysts said cutting down of positions by participants owing to muted demand in the physical market against adequate stocks position on higher supplies from producing belts mainly led to the decline in crude palm oil prices at futures trade.
