Edible oils ruled weak on Thursday tracking bearish overseas futures amidst absence of any firm demand. Stockists stayed away from fresh bulk purchases on account of approaching year-end and were busy fulfilling old commitments. During the day hardly 80 to 100 tons of palmolein was resold at Rs 572 – Rs 577 in isolated trades, barring which there was no trading activity. On BCE groundnut and rapeseed oil rose by Rs 10 each. Cotton and palmolein declined by Rs 3 and Rs 1. Soya and sunflower oil rule unchanged. Malaysian palm oil futures close lower but domestic NCDEX soya oil futures was up by Rs3 till evening.
