Sesame oil softens on low demand

In restricted activity, sesame oil prices moved down by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today owing to slackened demand from retailers.
However, other edible and non-edible oils moved in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled at previous levels.
Traders said subdued demand from retailers, mainly attributed the fall in sesame oil prices.
In the national capital, sesame mill delivery oil drifted lower by Rs 100 to Rs 8,200 per quintal.
