Maize futures spurt on scattered demand

Maize prices edged higher Rs 10 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grain market today on scattered demand from consuming industries.
However, other grains after moving in a narrow range on little activity settled at previous levels.
Traders said mild demand from consuming industries against limited arrivals from producing regions helped maize prices rise.
In the national capital, maize inched up by Rs 10 to Rs 1,350-1,355 per quintal.
