Edible oils remain up on millers buying, global cues

Edible oils extended gains for yet another week at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market on continued buying by vanaspati millers and retailers to meet ongoing festive and wedding season demand amid positive global cues.
A few oils in the non-edible section also strengthened on increased offtake by consuming industries.
Traders said persistent buying by vanaspati millers and retailers, driven by ongoing festive and wedding season demand amid restricted supplies from producing belts, mainly kept edible oil prices higher.
Besides, firm trend overseas also supported the upside, they said.
Globally, palm oil futures for delivery in December jumped to 2,320 ringgit (USD 553) a metric tonne on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives.

Meanwhile, India's palm oil imports rose 12.20 per cent to 7,83,734 tonnes in September as against the year-ago period, industry body Solvent Extractors' Association (SEA) said.
