\n Dear Client,<\/p>\n
Please find below the latest market updates for the Indian Spice sector as of
\n 20 Jun 2026.<\/p>\n
A strong bullish sentiment has emerged for small cardamom, cumin, and coriander in the Delhi market, driven by a surge in demand and weak selling pressure from stockists, pushing spice prices upward.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Green cardamom prices witnessed a sharp bullish surge following the signing of a historic peace treaty between the US and Iran, raising expectations of resumed exports through the newly reopened Strait of Hormuz. Stockists have stepped up their buying activity, driving strong auction and wholesale demand. However, the early arrival of the monsoon in Kerala, accompanied by heavy winds, has sparked concerns of potential crop damage, keeping market sentiment highly volatile. While immediate prospects remain strong, long-term gains may be capped as the new crop harvest is scheduled to begin in about a month.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The red chilli market is experiencing a stable but cautious trend as Guntur mandi resumed operations after the summer break. Despite relatively lower arrivals, prices have not shown any major bullish trigger due to the inferior quality of the arriving stock. Exporter participation remains subdued, further weighing down the market sentiment in major trading hubs. With official data indicating a year-on-year drop in both export volumes and earnings, the short-term outlook points toward limited fluctuations and range-bound trading.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The spot market for turmeric has entered a steady phase as buying inquiries slowed down following previous price hikes. Although speculative buying in futures markets has kept the overall sentiment slightly supportive, physical off-take in major mandis remains sluggish. Steady arrivals in producing regions are currently balancing out the market, preventing any drastic price movements. Analysts expect the market to remain stable in the immediate term, with limited prospects for a major bullish run.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Cumin prices continue to exhibit strong upward momentum as robust domestic and speculative buying persists. Even after recent price increases, demand has not waned, and key mandis are reporting healthy transactions and rising prices. Aggressive buying by speculators in the futures market has further bolstered spot sentiments. The near-term outlook remains highly positive, with expectations of continued strength and marginal price gains.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Coriander has maintained its bullish trajectory, supported by an escalation in market demand despite previous price increases. Extremely low arrivals in key markets like Rajasthan’s Baran mandi have created a tight supply environment. This supply crunch, combined with widespread speculative buying in the futures market, has significantly boosted market confidence. Spot prices are projected to edge higher over the coming days as demand continues to outpace supply.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The market for black cardamom has transitioned into a sluggish phase after experiencing a brief period of upward movement. Buyers are adopting a watchful approach, and retail transactions have slowed down considerably. Furthermore, early projections of a better crop yield in the upcoming harvest season are weighing on the sentiment and keeping stockists from making heavy commitments. Consequently, the commodity is expected to trade flat with no major bullish triggers in the near future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n🟢 Green Cardamom Surges on US-Iran Peace Deal and Monsoon Rains<\/h3>\n
