Higher supplies of imported and indigenous edible oils due to peak arrivals also weighed on the morale of the market. On the BCE, prices showed a mixed trend. About 200 tonnes palmolein at₹622-627 and about 100 tonnes soyabean refined oil at ₹693 were resold for ready and weekly. BCE spot rates (₹/10 kg): groundnut oil 955 (950), soya ref. 702 (700), sunflower exp. ref. 660 (660), sunflower ref. 710 (710), rapeseed ref. 805 (805), rapeseed exp. ref. 775 (775), cottonseed ref. 695 (690) and palmolein 625 (625).
