KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 (Bernama) -- The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives ended lower today, weighed down by concerns over rising output.

At the close, the spot-month November 2025 contract dropped RM35 to RM4,075 a tonne, December 2025 declined RM39 to RM4,079 a tonne, January 2026 fell RM35 to RM4,108 a tonne, and the February 2026 slipped RM30 to RM4,141 a tonne.

Meanwhile, the March 2026 contract shed RM23 to RM4,163 a tonne and April 2026 slipped RM13 to RM4,172 a tonne.
