Moth trades higher in thin trade

Barring a rise in moth prices on selective buying, other pulses held steady on the wholesale pulses market today.

However, other pulses trade in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.

Traders said selective buying by retailers mainly helped moth prices to rise.

In the national capital, moth moved up by Rs 50 to Rs 4,200-4,500 per quintal.
