Refined oil prices surged for the second day by adding Rs 3.65 to Rs 606 per 10 kg in futures trade today, as speculators enlarged their positions supported by a rise in demand in the spot market.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange counter, refined soya oil for delivery in January added Rs 3.65, or 0.61 per cent, to Rs 606 per 10 kg, with a business turnover of four lots.
