Castorseed bold and castor oil commercial weakened further in an otherwise subdued oils and oilseeds market here today due to reduced demand from stockists amidst lower enquries from shippers and soap industries.
Castorseed futures also slumped owing to heavy unwinding by stockist in the absence of the export orders.
Meanwhile, groundnut oil, refined palmolein and linseed held steady on lack of any worthwhile buying activity.
