Kuala lumpur: Crude palm oil (CPO) futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives snapped a three-day winning streak to close lower on Friday, reversing earlier gains, after the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) reported higher-than-expected stock levels, said palm oil trader David Ng.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, CPO inventories rose 17.6 per cent to 1.27 million tonnes in September from 1.08 million tonnes in August. Ng said the overall bearish sentiment following the higher stock data continued to weigh on prices.
