At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in November declined by Rs 3.10, or 0.71 per cent, to Rs 433.60 per 10 kg in business turnover of 649 lots.

Similarly, the oil for delivery in December lost Rs 2.60, or 0.58 per cent, to Rs 442 per 10 kg in 541 lots.

Market analysts attributed the fall in crude palm oil futures to weak global trend as higher output in Malaysia, the second- largest producer, may further boost record stockpiles of the tropical oil used in food to fuel.
