RTRS: India oilseeds, soyoil ease on weak demand, arrivals

Soyoil futures were trading lower due to tepid spot demand, though recovery in Malaysian palm oil limited the downside, they said. Rapeseed was down on higher arrivals in physical market.
U.S. soybean futures eased on Monday, while Malaysian palm oil futures KPOc3 were trading 0.59 percent higher at 1:41 p.m.
