Domestic soyabean oil futures dropped by more than Rs 5 erasing the previous day’s gains. Malaysian palm oil futures inched lower on Friday, tracking weak soya markets, and were set for a second straight weekly loss. Shailesh Kataria of Riddhi Broker said that in the absence of ready demand most of the volumes occurred for forward delivery.
