Sentiments in the edible oils market turned weak on Wednesday tracking bearish futures markets amid slack physical demand. On the Bombay Commodity Exchange, prices were mixed with imported palmolein, soyabean and sunflower oil ruling steady. Lower arrivals of seeds and expectation of a one-month delay in new arrivals kept groundnut, cotton and rapeseed oils firm with gain of ₹10, ₹2 and ₹1 each for 10 kg. A Mumbai-based broker told BusinessLinei that “activities in the physical market remained thin for the third consecutive day. With the monsoon progressing fast in the western part of the country, hopes for the ongoing kharif sowing have brightened. From August, festival demand for edible oils and other commodities will rise and thus will support the sentiment. The current tight supply situation is expected to ease as over 1.50-1.75 lakh tonnes of soya oil and palm oil shipments are expected to arrive soon.”
