Refined soya oil prices slipped by 0.23 per cent to Rs 728 per 10 kg in futures market today as speculators reduced their holdings, taking negative cues from spot market on low demand.
Besides, adequate stocks position on increased supplies from growing regions, too weighed on prices.
At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, refined soya oil for delivery in September declined by Rs 1.65, or 0.23 per cent to Rs 728 per 10 kg with an open interest of 40,530 lots.
In a similar fashion, the oil for delivery in October contracts shed 50 paise, or 0.07 per cent to Rs 724.20 per 10 kg in 13,630 lots.
