Futures contracts of cottonseed oilcake on the NCDEX traded marginally higher, tracking gains in cotton contracts on MCX. Cotton futures on the MCX hit a one-week high of 20,970 rupees per bale (1 bale = 170 kg) due to concerns about a fall in domestic output in 2017-18 (Oct-Sep) due to pink bollworm attacks in Maharashtra and Telangana.
