KUALA LUMPUR: The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives is expected to trend lower next week on profit-taking after buying activity persisted this week with the exception of Friday, said a dealer.

Interband Group of Companies senior trader Jim Teh told Bernama trading would likely range between RM2,050 and RM2,100 a tonne per tonne amid fears of a mild global recession, the trade dispute between the US and China, as well as Brexit.
