However, rise was limited by weakness in overseas market. Spot markets witnessed subdued trade on poor buying interest.
Outlook

eCBOT soy oil and BMD palm oil futures are trading higher on short covering. BMD palm oil futures may turn negative later as export data came negative for the market.
According to Intertek Agri Services, palm oil export during December 1st to 20th period fell 26% M/M to 776,910 tons.
On domestic front, lack of active buying interest at current levels is likely to limit the gains.
Spot markets are likely to witness subdued trading on poor trade participation from end-users ahead of holiday.
