In restricted activity, palmolein oil prices fell by Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today, tracking a weak trend overseas.
However, other edible and non-edible oils moved in a narrow range in limited deals and pegged at last levels.
Traders attributed the slide in palmolein oil prices to a weak trend overseas and fall in demand from millers and local parties.
Globally, the benchmark palm oil contract for July delivery dropped 0.5 per cent to 2,397 ringgit (USD 614.14) a tonne on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
