Urad, its dal weaken in thin trade

NEW DELHI, Aug 25: In thin trade, urad and its dal prices traded lower by up to Rs 100 per quintal in the wholesale pulses market today on lack of buying support from retailers.
However, other pulses moved in a tight range in scattered buying or selling and settled around previous levels.
Marketmen said lack of buying support from retailers at existing higher levels mainly led to the fall in urad and its dal prices to trade lower.
In the national capital, urad and its dal chilka local declined by Rs 50 and Rs 100 to Rs 3,900-4,500 and Rs 4,800-5,100 per quintal, respectively.
