Crude palm oil eased by 0.18% to Rs 486 per 10 kg in futures trade today as speculators indulged in profit-booking, motivated by a weak trend in the spot market.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, September crude palm oil fell by 90 paise, or 0.18%, to Rs 486 per 10 kg, with a business turnover of 34 lots.
The October contract shed 60 paise, or 0.12%, to Rs 483 per 10 kg in 11 lots.
Marketmen said profit-booking by speculators amid a weak trend in the spot market on subdued demand mainly put pressure on crude palm oil futures prices.
