Other edible oils such as soybean oil and rapeseed were also experiencing lower prices, she said when asked on the price outlook for palm oil amid a lower stock that was reported in April.At the close, spot month June 2019 fell to RM34 to RM1,974 a tonne, July 2019 shed RM39 to RM2,002 a tonne, August 2019 slipped RM41 to RM2,016 a tonne and September 2019 eased RM43 to RM2,031 a tonne. — Bernama
