Jeera updates

Jeera is expected to be volatile in Tuesday's trading session. Weak sowing cues and demand is expected to support the upside while reports of higher Jeera stocks at NCDEX warehouse may limit the upside. The NCDEX Jeera benchmark March contract ended the day at Rs 15,200, up Rs 22.50 or 0.15% from the last close.

Jeera arrivals at Unjha mandi stood steady at 5,000 bags while demand was tad lower by 500 bags to 6,500 bags on Monday.

Jeera Sowing in Gujarat is lower by 25-30%, but it is expected to gain momentum in the coming days. Sowing in the state of Rajasthan started and the exact information on sowing of both states will be available only by the end of December. The area under coverage and climate condition is very crucial for the yield of the crop. Higher stocks for delivery on the exchange warehouses have pressurized prices. Jeera is grown as a rabi crop in India and it is also grown well in sub-tropical climate too, best suited for sandy soil. It requires less water and more cold for its better growth with ideal temperature of 25 to 30 degree. Jeera crop is highly sensitive to rain, if rain occurs during harvesting time (February to March) quality of the Jeera will be badly affected besides quantity damage (due to fungal diseases). Arrivals are weak in local mandis and export demand is likely to fetch in coming days as Syria and Turkey supply constraints exits. According to markets sources about 75% exports target has already been achieved due to a supply crunch in the global markets. Higher stocks for delivery on the exchange warehouses may pressurize prices.

January cumin seed gained more than Rs 475 per quintal in the last three sessions, from Friday's low lead by strong buying support. The March contract ended the day at Rs 15,200, up Rs 22.50 or 0.15% from the last close. The open interest declined 168 tonnes to 12,603 tonnes, indicating short covering. Technically, the counter is expected to face resistance at Rs 15,290-15,370 and supports at Rs 15,150-15,090 level.
