Cottonseed oil cake futures ease on spot cues

Cottonseed oil cake prices receded by Rs 12 to Rs 1,913 per quintal in futures trading today following pessimistic selling by operators in line with a weak trend at the physical markets.
Market players said that the fall in cottonseed oil cake prices in futures trading was mostly due to a weak trend in spot markets, triggering trimming positions by speculators.
Fading demand from cattle-feed makers following availability of other alternates at cheaper rates also fuelled the downtrend, they added.
