Refined soya oil remained weak for the second day and prices shed another 0.31 per cent to Rs 668.65 per 10 kg in futures market today as participants reduced their exposure on the back of sluggish demand in the spot market.
Besides, adequate stocks position on higher supplies from producing regions fuelled the downtrend.
