Select edible oil prices rose by Rs 20 per quintal in the wholesale oils and oilseed market today on buying by vanaspati units amid firming global trend.
Elsewhere, edible and non-edible oil prices moved in a tight range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.
Trading sentiment turned better after reports of palm oil climbed to the highest level in more than four months in Malaysia.
Marketmen said fresh buying by vanaspati millers and reports of firming global trend mainly led to a rise in palmolein and crude palm oil prices.
In the edible section, soyabean refined mill delivery (Indore) and soyabean degum (Delhi) gained Rs 20 each to Rs 4,880 and Rs 4,620, while crude palm oil (ex-kandla) and palmolein (rbd) traded higher by the same margin at Rs 3,970 and Rs 4,670 per quintal.
