Mumbai, October 8 (Commodities Control): Turmeric prices in major spot markets have shown stability or slight weakness, particularly in Duggirala, Basmatnagar, Warangal, and Kadapa, where prices have decreased by Rs 100-500 per quintal. Conversely, prices have increased in Hingoli and Nizamabad as these markets reopened after a three-day closure.

Local sources indicate that the weakness in NCDEX futures is influencing spot market pricing. While crop damage has been minimal, improved conditions due to drier weather over the past 20 days are exerting pressure on prices.

With more markets operational today, arrivals rose to 8,535 bags, an increase from 7,580 bags the previous day. However, this figure remains significantly lower than the previous fortnight's levels, which exceeded 20,000 bags, reflecting a continuing downward price trend.

Following a notable rise yesterday, NCDEX futures prices fell slightly, establishing a downtrend. The October contract fell by 2.1%, trading at Rs 13,400, while December futures decreased by 1.7%, priced at Rs 13,966. As the October contract approaches expiration, increased volatility is expected in the coming days.

Panic selling has kept spot market turmeric prices low, and further declines are anticipated in upcoming sessions. However, a substantial decrease seems unlikely due to limited supply and a five-month wait for the next crop. Traders are advised to monitor the 12,500 level for insights into the long-term trend.

In NCDEX spot prices, Nizamabad reports polished turmeric at Rs 14,295 and unpolished at Rs 13,658, while Sangli's Rajapore variety is priced at Rs 15,965.

For NCDEX futures, the prices are as follows:
- October 2024: Rs 13,400 (-288, -2.1%)
- December 2024: Rs 13,966 (-248, -1.7%)
- April 2025: Rs 14,400 (-176, -1.2%)
