Edible oils remain up on festive season demand, global cues

NEW DELHI, Oct 8:  Firm conditions continued unabated at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today with prices of select edible oils rising further up to Rs 50 per quintal largely on increased offtake by local parties driven by festive season and a firming trend in the global market.
In the non-edible segment, neem oil also showed some strength on industrial demand.
Traders said an upward trend in select edible oil prices was mostly supported by rising demand from retailers and millers triggered by ongoing Navratra festival and a firming trend in the overseas markets.
In the international market, palm oil rose further by one per cent to trade at three-week high of USD 732 a tonne on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives on speculation that rains in the US may delay harvesting of soybeans crushed to produce a substitute oil.
In the national capital, mustard expeller (Dadri) gained Rs 20 Rs 7,100 per quintal, while cottonseed mill (Haryana) delivery oil gained Rs 30 at Rs 6,230 per quintal on retailers demand.
Crude Palm Oil (ex-kandla), Palmolein (RBD) and Palmolein (Kandla) gained Rs 50 each at Rs 5,270, Rs 6,120 and Rs 5,720 per quintal, respectively, largley in tune with a firming trend in Malaysian palm oil.
