After declining continuously last week, the edible oils market improved as the Malaysian palm oil market rebounded on Monday. Groundnut oil extended gains from last week, rising Rs 10 for 10 kg.
Crude palm oil (CPO) futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD) rebounded on dip-buying after sliding to the lowest in a month. In Mumbai, soya refined oil rose by Re 1, sunflower oil by Rs 5 and rapeseed oil by Re 1 for 10 kg.
Cotton, palmolein
Cotton and palmolein oils ruled steady as resellers offered at lower rates. Volumes remained thin as new stock-buying was absent, a wholesaler said. Local refineries have reduced palmolein and soya oil rates but offers by resellers at lower rates kept the market sentiment steady.
