Mumbai, April 8 (CommoditiesControl): Turmeric markets largely saw stability to weakness in recent trading sessions, with most major spot markets reporting subdued prices. Duggirala and Hingoli witnessed declines ranging from Rs 200-500 per quintal. Despite strong domestic demand, export demand remained lackluster.
Arrivals in turmeric markets declined to 9,200 bags from 19,000 bags in the previous session, primarily due to the closure of the majority of markets. Erode reported 2,800 bags, Duggirala reported 400 bags, and Hingoli reported 6,000 bags. Market participants noted that arrivals were 20-30% lower than expected due to significantly reduced output.
Meanwhile, turmeric futures prices on the NCDEX experienced a slight decline, with prices decreasing by 0.1% in April and 0.5% in June contracts. Despite this marginal decline, NCDEX futures prices are anticipated to remain supported in the coming days.
