Additionally, the supply from Burma may increase at higher rates due to active sellers, and stockists/traders may book profits before the upcoming water festival holiday that commences on April 13, 2023. Moreover, new rabi crop arrivals in the Krishna and Prakasam districts of Andhra Pradesh are expected to be abundant due to a good crop. Finally, trade volume is anticipated to decline in the upcoming days as the financial year-end draws nearer, which typically coincides with a financial liquidity crunch.
