\n Dear Client,<\/p>\n
Please find below the latest market updates for the Indian Spice sector as of
\n 9 July 2026.<\/p>\n
The wholesale dry fruits and kirana market opened with mixed trends; sluggish local demand dragged down prices for Turmeric and Large Cardamom, while Dry Ginger witnessed a sharp surge on the back of weak selling pressure and tight ready stock.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The current crop of small cardamom is nearing its end, but the anticipation of the upcoming new crop has driven higher arrivals in recent auctions. Despite heavy rainfall reported in Kerala, local buying remains extremely cautious and slow, preventing any immediate rise in spot prices. Although relatively higher international prices of Guatemalan cardamom continue to support Indian export demand, a long-term bullish rally is unlikely in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Continuous rainfall has severely affected trading activities in major spots, pushing turmeric prices down. Speculative buying in the futures market has weakened significantly, creating a bearish sentiment that is dragging down physical trade. With buyers and stockists holding back on fresh purchases, the spot market is expected to remain soft with no immediate signs of a price recovery.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Despite relatively lower arrivals in key trading centers like Unjha, cumin prices remain under pressure as buyers resist purchasing at higher levels. A drop in speculative support in futures trading has further dampened market sentiment. Analysts expect spot cumin prices to undergo a minor downward correction in the near term due to this lack of active buying interest.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The market of coriander has turned quiet following a brief period of strength, with buyers now operating on a hand-to-mouth basis. Increased selling pressure by speculators in futures has weakened market sentiment, leaving spot prices flat despite steady arrivals in regional mandis. The market is projected to trade in a narrow, range-bound zone without any major upward movement in the short term.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Spot prices of large cardamom eased slightly due to a temporary slowdown in buying following the recent price hikes. However, the downside remains highly limited because overall supplies in the pipeline are structurally tight. While the market may experience short-term consolidation, any long-term bearish trend is ruled out.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Nutmeg trading has decelerated in the southern markets due to heavy monsoon rains disrupting logistics and local operations. Prices have settled at previously softened levels, primarily due to a noticeable lack of active buying interest from exporters. Traders are advised to exercise caution and trade selectively over the next few days as risk remains elevated.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Imported Turkish poppy seed prices have consolidated at previous levels amid sluggish local trading. Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly involving the US and Iran, have influenced broader market sentiments and checked further bearish moves. No significant price decline is anticipated in the spot market in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Although the active monsoon season has slowed retail sales, fenugreek prices continue to hold firm after their recent gains. Inflows and pricing structures in major producing hubs remain stable, lending solid baseline support to the market. The commodity is expected to maintain its current strong posture in the immediate future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n🟢 Small Cardamom: Auction Inflows Rise, Capping Bullish Sentiments<\/h3>\n
