Edible oils extended their loss on Thursday on the back of bearish domestic futures markets.
Imported palmolein and soyabean refined oil declined by Re 1 each for 10 kg. Groundnut, cotton and sunflower oils dropped by Rs 5 each. Rapeseed oil eased by Rs 2. The sentiment was weak on hopes of rabi crop arrivals beginning soon, said sources.
A spokesman of Riddhi Broker told Business Line: “Positive outlook for rabi oilseed crop and expectation of start of new arrivals of seeds especially mustard- rapeseed in producing centres have weakened the undertone of the markets.
“The market will be looking for direction from the US Department of Agriculture monthly supply and demand reports scheduled to be released on Friday. It could turn out to be bullish for palm oil due to tighter soyabean stocks”.
