Cottonseed oil cake prices bounced back by Rs 13.50 to Rs 1,777 per quintal in futures trade today as investors accumulated fresh positions at lower levels amid a firm trend at the physical markets.
Marketmen said building up fresh positions by the speculators after yesterday's sell-off in tandem with a firm trend at the spot markets due to tight stocks against rising demand from cattle-feed makers led to recovery in cottonseed oil cake futures prices.
