Oil prices remain steady in thin trade

Quiet conditions prevailed at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today with prices moving in a narrow range on lack of worthwhile activity and pegged at last levels.
Traders said absence of any worthwhile activity mainly kept prices steady.
Activity remained negligible due to paucity of funds after the government banned Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes in a bid to curb black money.
