The wholesale market depicted a mixed trend today as select pulses led by urad rose further on rising demand from retailers while a few others met with resistance at prevailing and surrendered moderate ground.
Traders said rising demand from retailers in the face of paucity of stocks on restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly kept select prices higher.
Weakening rupee against dollar, making imports costlier also supported the upside in select prices, they said.
They added, however, some resistance at existing levels helped other prices to shed ground.
