Malaysia CPO ends tad down on firm ringgit vs doller

Futures contracts of crude palm oil ended marginally lower on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives due to a strong ringgit against the dollar. Expectations of a fall in the Southeast Asian country’s palm oil exports in November due to low demand further weighed on the prices on the Malaysian bourse. The most-active February contract of crude palm oil on the Malaysian bourse closed at 2,587 ringgits (40,650.30 rupees) per metric tonne, down 0.1% from the previous close.
