NEW DELHI – Futures contracts of turmeric rose while those of jeera and coriander fell on the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange Monday. Prices of turmeric rose due to limited supply and a good buying appetite, analysts said. Festival demand also supported turmeric prices, they said. Prices of jeera fell due to higher arrivals and weak demand, and those of coriander were down due to weaker demand, they said.

 

The most-active December contract of TURMERIC saw a sharp rise, up 6% at INR 13,560 per 100 kg on the back of high demand amid limited supply in domestic markets, SMC Global said in a note. Heavy rainfall in many regions has damaged the standing crop, with around 15% of crop loss reported in Nanded, Maharashtra, which is also pushing the market up, Kedia Advisory said. Moreover, the demand is being supported by the festival season which has helped keep prices higher, analysts at SMC Global Securities said. The firm sees this trend continuing for the next few days.

 

The most-active November contract of JEERA fell 0.4% to INR 19,090 per 100 kg as steady local arrivals and cautious stockist participation continued to weigh on market sentiment, SMC said. Subdued export activity and lacklustre domestic demand are seen further limiting any significant upside in the near term. Any upward movement is expected to encounter resistance at higher levels, reinforcing the prevailing bearish outlook, SMC Global said. 

 

The most-active November contract of CORIANDER declined 0.3% to INR 8,294 per 100 kg as weak demand persisted in spot markets, analysts said. However, the fall in prices could be limited due to a likely rise in festival demand, especially in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, SMC Global said. Renewed export interest from Asian and West Asian buyers is another reason for the positive near-term outlook, the brokerage added.

 

Contract	Exchange	Unit (kg)	Price (INR)	Change (INR)
Coriander Nov	NCDEX	100	8,294	(-)22
Jeera Nov	NCDEX	100	19,090	(-)80
Turmeric Dec	NCDEX	100	13,560	766
