KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures declined on Thursday evening, with the market weighed down by forecasts of slowing demand growth ahead of a data release by cargo surveyors on Friday.
The benchmark palm oil contract for July delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was down 0.2 percent at 2,403 ringgit ($617.90) a tonne at the close of trade. It earlier rose as much as 0.7 percent to 2,424 ringgit.
