India Soybean closes a tad down; CPO up on Malaysia cues.

Futures contracts in the edible oil basket traded mixed, with soybean and mustard ending lower and crude palm oil and refined soyoil traded higher on domestic exchanges. Their prices had risen in the past three previous sessions on reports of weak area under the kharif crop this year. Soybean and mustard futures on National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange ended lower due to tepid buying at higher price level.
