Refined palmolein prices rose at the oils and oilseeds market here today on good demand from stockists and retailers on the back of higher Malaysian advices.
Meanwhile, groundnut oil held stable in the absence of any worthwhile buying. Linseedoil also gained modestly owing to renewed demand from paint and allied industries, while castorseeds bold and castoroil commercial eased following reduced offtake from shippers and soap industries.
In the futures market, castorseeds prices also slipped on speculative selling following lower export enquiries. In the edible section, refined palmolein moved up by Rs 5 per 10 kg to Rs 511 from last Saturday’s closing level of Rs 506. Groundnutoil closed unchanged at Rs 1,235 per 10 kg.
