Wheat prices traded marginally higher by Rs 5 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today on scattered buying by flour mills.
However, other grains moved in a tight range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said some buying by flour mills mainly helped wheat prices to trade marginally higher.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) rose by Rs 5 to Rs 1,605-1,610 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded higher by the same margin to Rs 1,615-1,620 per 90 kg.
