Select edible oil prices fell up to Rs 120 per quintal in the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on subdued demand amid weakening global trend. In the non-edible section, linseed oil also eased owing to reduced industrial offtake.
Sentiment turned somewhat bearish after palm oil slipped to a one-month low in Malaysia on concern that inventory in Malaysia, the second-biggest grower, may climb as exports fall.
Traders said subdued demand at existing higher levels amid weakening global trend mainly pulled down select wholesale edible oil prices.
Meanwhile, palm oil futures for the November-delivery contract declined 0.5 per cent to $796 a metric tonne on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange, the lowest intra-day level since July 30.
In the edible section, soyabean refined mill delivery (Indore) and soyabean degum (Delhi) oil fell by Rs 110 and Rs 50 to Rs 4,820 and Rs 4,650, while crude palm oil (ex-kandla) lost Rs 50 to Rs 4,100 per quintal.
