Crude palm oil futures remain weak on subdued demand

NEW DELHI, July 13: Crude palm oil prices fell further 1.17 per cent to Rs 615 per 10 kg in futures trade today as speculators cut bets, taking negative cues from the spot market on easing demand and as international prices ease amid concerns over the US-China trade dispute.
