Turmeric futures traded sharply higher on the back of rising domestic as well as export demand in the spot market. Besides, restricted supplies and slow pace of sowing in producing states also added support to turmeric prices’ uptrend. The main reason for the bullishness is that the rainfall in turmeric growing regions in Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra during the first 40 days of the four-month southwest monsoon has been below normal, which may have an adverse impact on the standing turmeric crops. In Telangana (highest producing turmeric state), turmeric acreage as on 10-Jul-17, up 9.5% to 23,000 hectares as compared to last year acreage of 21,000 hectares.

Jeera futures traded with an uptrend on account of increased buying by retailers and stockists at the spot market. Furthermore, fall in supplies from producing belts also supported the upside.

As per the data release by government, jeera exports in April 2017 was 14,599 tonnes, were down 9% from March.

Soybean August futures traded almost flat with lower bias due to fresh selling by the market participants on the back of profit booking activity but, the medium term prices likely to ticked up on expectation of good physical buying at lower level along with expected good rally in edible oils in near term. Soybean prices likely to improved further due to low price realization to farmers in the last season is discouraging sowing prospects for soybean in the country. As per the USDA latest report of July Supply/Demand, The U.S. soybean ending stocks continue to tighten. However, yield estimates remain unchanged and the supply numbers remain big, giving the trade a negative signal.
