Indonesian market commentary reports that palm oil futures have trended lower as demand weakens after palm lost price competitiveness against other vegetable oils. The July CPO contract closed 1.8% lower at 3,571 ringgit a tonne, and Indonesian March exports of palm products fell from over 2 million tonnes in February to 1.96 million.
