CRUDE PALM OIL
BURSA Malaysia Derivatives crude palm oil (CPO) futures prices remained under selling pressure throughout last week as stale-bull liquidation and moderate speculative selling forced the market to close the week at its worst levels in 3½ months. Declines in the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soyoil futures prices, worries over sluggish demand in the third quarter and increasing palm oil stocks in the peak production months of July to September failed to motivate any aggressive buying last week.
