Jeera Futures are likely to witness further correction on expectation that arrivals might improve tracking higher price quotes. However, expectation of fresh overseas demand is likely to support prices in the short term. In the medium to long term prices are likely to witness a bounce back as there are limited stocks with Syria and Turkey and crop there is 30% short of last year.
According to Karvy Commtrade Jeera futures prices are projected to continue the corrections on liquidation of positions. Despite of declining arrivals prices are falling at spot front which is also weighing on futures prices. Reduced demand from local buyer due recent hike in prices is creating pressure on prices. However, traders are still expecting that these corrections might remain limited as prices will improve in near term due to lean season demand.
