Palmolein prices fell by Rs 30 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale oils and oilseeds market today owing to slackness in demand along with lower Malaysian advices.
However,non-edible oils continued to trade in a tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said slackened demand and reports of a weakening global trend mainly led to decline in palmolein prices.
Meanwhile,palm oil fell 0.6 per cent on the Malaysian Derivatives Exchange.
In the national capital,palmolein (rbd) and palmolein (kandla) oils declined by Rs 30 each to Rs 7,000 and Rs 6,650 per quintal,respectively.
