Wheat moves up on fall in arrivals and increased offtake

Wheat prices recovered by Rs 20 per quintal in lacklustre trade at the wholesale grains market today in the national capital on tight supplies from producing belts against pick-up in demand from flour mills.
However, other grains including rice basmati moved in a narrow range in limited deals on scattered enquiries and settled around previous levels.
Traders said besides tight supplies in the market from producing belts, pick-up in flour mills demand mainly led to the recovery in wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) rose by Rs 20 to Rs 1,490-1,495 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and edged up by a similar margin to Rs 1,520-1,525 per 90 kg.
