India refined soy oil futures closed higher yesterday
as the market factored in the 4%
reduction in special additional duty on
all imported edible oils announced by the Finance Minister P. Chidambaram in the Budget for 2007-08. In
the spot markets, refined soy oil was
selling at Rs430 per 10kg (inclusive of
value added tax), up Rs4 from Tuesday. Soy oil prices have more of less bottomed out and are
consolidating at these levels before
firming
up.
