\n Dear Client,<\/p>\n
Please find below the latest market updates for the Indian Spice sector as of
\n 10 June 2026.<\/p>\n
Mixed sentiments observed in Kirana commodities, with Cumin witnessing a downtrend due to weak demand, while Makhana experiences bullish momentum.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saffron prices are witnessing a significant surge, with a substantial increase observed over the last 100 days. This bullish trend is driven by negligible stock in Iran due to ongoing conflict and a halt in supply from the region. Kashmiri saffron prices have also risen. Further price appreciation is anticipated in the coming months, supported by high demand during the upcoming wedding season and reduced yields from other regions like Pakistan and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Big Cardamom is experiencing a period of sluggishness, primarily due to weak demand during the summer season and reduced buying interest from Middle Eastern countries. Supply has seen an improvement, particularly from Assam, while imports from Nepal remain weak. Despite a recent slight increase in auction prices on June 4th, the overall market remains subdued. High existing stock with holders and past crop damage in Nepal contribute to the current bearish sentiment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Despite a significant decrease in domestic Red Chilli production in FY 2023-24, leading to elevated wholesale prices, export prices have surprisingly fallen by approximately 12%. The market recently saw a dip due to summer demand patterns and improved supply from Bareilly, although Bareilly’s crop is comparatively smaller this year. Upcoming monsoon season and the reopening of Guntur market after holidays are key factors that could influence future market direction. Export volumes and values were down year-on-year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The clove market is currently stagnant, suffering from the typical effects of the summer season on demand. A recent price dip has been noted. Adding to the bearish sentiment, the weakening Indian Rupee against the US Dollar is influencing market dynamics. Consequently, no significant price appreciation is expected in the immediate future, with continued sluggishness anticipated.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Recent auctions for Green Cardamom have seen a notable increase in arrivals, with 27,002 kg recorded today. However, this higher supply has been met with weak demand, leading to a decline in average auction prices compared to previous levels. Despite a recent bullish trend, the current market sentiment indicates stability at lower price points. Traders do not anticipate any significant price increases in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The Black Pepper market in Kerala’s Kochi region is experiencing sluggish trading activity, coinciding with the onset of the monsoon season. Both arrivals and prices are holding steady at previous day’s levels. While a slight improvement was observed recently, the overall outlook suggests continued sluggishness. Market participants do not foresee any significant changes in the immediate future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Fennel sales are currently sluggish due to the prevailing summer season. Prices are holding firm at their previous unchanged levels. Although a recent price rise was noted, the market is now characterized by stability. While arrivals and prices in Kochi remain steady, recent price increases in Ginger could potentially influence future market sentiment. No significant downside is expected in the near term.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The cumin market is grappling with a continuous declining trend, primarily a result of weak demand. Prices have seen a substantial fall, and arrivals in Unjha have increased significantly. However, a glimmer of support has emerged from minor buying by stockists, leading to a slight uptick in active futures. This suggests a potential for a temporary halt in the bearish price momentum in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\nSaffron Soars: Geopolitical Tensions & Supply Shortages Fuel Price Hike 🚀<\/h3>\n
