Malaysia CPO falls on profit booking, CBOT soy cue

The June contract of crude palm oil was down on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives as investors booked profits after prices hit a one-month high of 2,483 ringgits (41,633.81 rupees) per tn in early trade. The most-active June contract of crude palm oil on the Malaysian bourse traded at 2,467 ringgits per tn, down 0.2% from the previous close. The weakness in soyoil contracts on CBOT also added to losses in palm oil. The prices of crude palm oil and soyoil typically move in tandem as the commodities are used as substitutes for each other.
