Sesame oil rises in thin trade

In an otherwise steady wholesale oils and oilseeds market, sesame oil gained Rs 30 per quintal on fresh buying.

Elsewhere, other edible and non-edible oils moved in a tight range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.

Traders said some buying support from retailers helped sesame oil to trade higher.
