NEW DELHI, Nov 17: Crude palm oil declined by 0.44 per cent to Rs 453.60 per 10 kg in futures trading today as speculators reduced positions, tracking a weak trend at spot market on sluggish demand.

Similarly, the oil for delivery in November contracts shed 60 paise, or 0.36 per cent, to Rs 448.20 per 10 kg in 31 lots.
Market analysts said offloading of positions by speculators on the back of subdued demand in the spot markets against adequate stocks position mainly led to the decline in crude palm oil prices at futures trade. (PTI)
