KUALA LUMPUR: The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives ended lower for the sixth consecutive day today on subdued demand due to weak market sentiment.
 
"(The benchmark) CPO plunged below RM4,500 a tonne today, the lowest for this year as bearish sentiment continues to grip the market.

At the close, the CPO futures contract for the spot month of July 2022 fell RM522 to RM4,688 a tonne, August 2022 decreased RM499 to RM4,566 a tonne, the benchmark September 2022 lost RM481 to RM4,499 a tonne and October 2022 declined RM471 to RM4,469 a tonne. ,

Palm Oil will trade below RM 2000 in a couple of years.
No prospect of rising.
