With the arrival of new crops such as chana and wheat, the demand for soya oil and soya seeds have declined in the past few days.
Poor domestic demand and weak foreign support have dragged soya oil prices in the local mandis by Rs 8-10 in the last one week. With soya oil March contracts hitting lower circuit in the futures market, soya oil tumbled in the physical market on Wednesday with soya refined in the spot quoted at Rs 590-595 for 10 kg. Trading in soya refined more or less remained same on Thursday on weak Malyasian palm oil futures and complete lack of buying support in the physical market. In the spot, soya refined quoted at Rs 590-592, while in the resale it was quoted at Rs 585.
Bearish sentiments also affected trading in soya solvent with its prices in the spot and delivery quoted at Rs 552-556, while for Bhopal line trading in soya solvent was done at Rs 549 for 10 kg.
