Select edible oil prices recovered up to Rs 50 per quintal on the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on buying by vanaspati millers to meet the on-going festive season demand.
Trading sentiment turned better as palm oil futures climbed after the biggest weekly drop in more than 10 months lured some investors and as rival soybean oil advanced on concerns that dry weather will reduce yields in the US, the largest grower and exporter.
However, non-edible oils remained flat in restricted buying activity. Traders said fresh buying by vanaspati millers and retailers to meet the festive demand mainly led to recovery in select wholesale edible oil prices.
Meanwhile, palm oil futures for the November-delivery contract added 0.9 per cent to $821 a metric tonne on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
In the edible section, mustard expeller oil (Dadri) gained Rs 50 to Rs 5,300 per quintal.
Soyabean refined mill delivery (Indore) and palmolein (rbd) rose by Rs 30 each to Rs 4,930 and Rs 4,900, while crude palm oil (ex-kandla) edged up by Rs 20 to Rs 4,150 per quintal.
