European vegetable oil prices were little changed around midday on Friday as dealers looked towards the Chicago Board of Trade soy complex to open for fresh inspiration, dealers said.
"The markets look quiet and indecisive," said a broker in Rotterdam.
EU soyaoil was quoted three euros per tonne up from Thursday's close at 498 euros for July shipments, while rapeseed oil was unchanged to slightly weaker at 548 euros for August/October.
Palm olein was heard trading at $445 a tonne for July 1-7 shipment, at $442.50 for August/September and at $430 for October/November.
Late buying support saw Malaysian crude palm oil futures closing higher on Friday after spending most of the day in negative territory due to profit-taking on recent gains.
The September contract closed at the day's high of 1,559 ringgit ($410.26) a tonne. It fell to a low of 1,532 earlier.
