Burma Lemon Tur:
Tur Lemon variety of Burma-origin new slipped for fourth straight week by Rs 300/100kg to Rs 6,200/100Kg, in Mumbai, as Nafed offloads kharif 2019 stock at Rs 6,300/100Kg and above.
In forward trade, commodity was quoted weak to Rs 5,950 for November delivery.
Similarly, domestic variety Tur traded lower by Rs 400 to Rs 6,450-6,500/100Kg at benchmark market Akola.
Timing of both decisions i.e, import quota for the millers and keeping the window open till 31st Dec along with Nafed opening tenders for selling stocks has created negative sentiments amid oversupply.
On top of it, Piyush Goyal tweeted that GOI has taken a call to sell off 2 Lakh MT of tur stocks over next two weeks in open market tenders.
Nafed has commenced state wise sale of 187,899 MT Tur, through NeML in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
Buyers are cautious, as supply of around 50,000 tonnes from Burma is expected to reach India (Chennai port) next week end.
Meanwhile, regular supply from Mozambique and Sudan Tur was reported.
As per market sources, fluctuation of Tur prices depend on Government agency approval of Tur tender bids in coming days. NAFED selling through tenders will determine the market direction.

Burma Urad:
Price of Burma Urad FAQ new variety fell by Rs 100 at Rs 7,600/100Kg, in Mumbai, due to slack millers' trade, ongoing domestic arrivals and dull offtake in processed Urad.
Similarly in Chennai, Burma Urad FAQ/SQ varieties weakened by Rs 100-150 at Rs 7,750/100Kg and Rs 8,750, respectively.
However, there's no arrival pressure of new crop yet. Arrivals of superior quality Urad is lesser as compared to average/damaged quality. Superior quality Urad traded at premium prices.
As per Burma based local trader, 25-30 containers of Urad FAQ has been traded on 6th November by Indian buyers at $850 per metric ton, on FOB basis.
Sentiments are still under pressure as Government has taken several steps towards cooling off the elevated prices, by giving import quota, liquidating old procured stock and releasing buffer stock at subsidised rate to the states for retail sale.
As per the notification each eligible and verified importer shall be allowed to import 97 MTs approximately. Some millers and importers have started getting licenses from government. But, no buyers are interested to import.
The government has entered a five-year MoU with Myanmar for imports of 2.5 lakh tons of urad.
As per market view, prices are likely to get support due to no overseas supply pressure, damage to yield and quality of domestic Urad, limited carry over stock with government/private traders.

Chana Kantewala (Indore):
Chana prices eased marginally at Rs 5,175-5,200/100Kg in Indore, amid thin mill buying, arrival of infected chana and supply of Chana/Kabuli Chickpea from overseas.
However, Nafed refraining from giving away tender at lower bids in range of 5125.
NAFED selling through tenders will determine the market direction going forward.
Chana stocks are depleting, but the excess stocking last month and lower demand has brought the prices down.
Chana dal and besan demand has, reportedly, been improving in major consumption markets.
In Mumbai, Tanzania-origin Chana ruled weak by Rs 100 at Rs 5,050/100Kg, due to supplies from its origin.
Similarly, Sudan and Russia-origin Kabuli Chickpea fell Rs 100, each, at Rs 5,250 and Rs 5,150, respectively.

Imported Masoor (Mumbai):
Canada crimson variety and Australia-origin Masoor in Mumbai extended fall by Rs 25 at Rs 5,125-5,200/100Kg and Rs 5,275-5,300, respectively in Mumbai.
On other hand, Canada crimson variety Masoor at Mundra and Hazira port moved up Rs 75-100 at Rs 5,125/100Kg each, respectively, on selected mill buying for immediate crushing requirement and less ready domestic stock.
However, availability of imported raw and processed Masoor stocks at cheaper rates, slower offtake in processed Masoor and expectations of more imports due to extension of 10% Concessional Duty to 31st December, 2020 will limit the gains.
Vessel M V NORD BERING carrying 38,000 tonnes of Canada Masoor arrived at Kakinada Port on 31st October, 2020.
Vessel M V Star Crios carrying 38,000 tonnes of Masoor from Canada is likely to reach India (Mundra) on 14th Nov, 2020.
As per market sources, Vessel M.V. Darya Jaya and M.V. Aragona carrying Masoor from Canada is likely to reach India.

Moong (Jaipur):
Moong prices were steady at Rs 7,700-7,800/100Kg in Jaipur market of Rajasthan, as per quality, amid limited mill buying, cash crunch and ongoing kharif arrivals in major producing centres.
Similarly, processed Moong was unchanged at Rs 8,400-8,500/100Kg due to weak participation at demand and sale counters consumption centres.
Meanwhile, Government procurement of new Kharif Moong, at MSP, is snail-paced as good quality Moong prices traded above MSP of Rs 7,196 in spot markets.
Millers are interested in purchase of good quality moong for immediate requirement for crushing and polishing.
Arrivals and supplies stocked in godowns, meanwhile, are enough to offset current requirements.
