Sesame oil declines in thin trade

Barring a fall in sesame oil on sluggish demand, prices generally held steady on the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today.

Traders said adequate stocks against restricted buying activity led to a decline in wholesale sesame oil prices.

Meanwhile, palm oil futures for March-delivery fell 0.7 per cent, to $1,200 a tonne on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
