Crude palm oil falls on profit-booking

NEW DELHI, July 31: Crude palm oil slipped 0.90 per cent to Rs 416.40 per 10 kg in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at prevailing higher prices amidst subdued spot market demand.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm oil for delivery in August fell by Rs 3.80, or 0.90 per cent, to Rs 416.40 per 10 kg in a business turnover of 334 lots.
