Surveillance, both reported a 30 per cent drop in palm oil exports in
the first ten days of April.

tonne, May 2010 added RM3 to RM2,550, June 2010 fell RM4 to RM2,531
and July 2010 eased RM3 to RM2,525.

interest declined to 74,101 contracts from 76,407 previously. On the
physical market, April South fell RM20 to settle at RM2,565.
