The month of Nov Dec., has shown a mixed trend across the futures as well as the spot markets. As prices some of the commodities continued their down trend to multi months low while some others scaled to their life time highs, but were supported by their own supply demand fundamentals. Also some agro commodities remained in a tight range or under pressure due to higher output from the current Kharif crop; however a decline in fresh arrivals has restricted major losses. India's food price inflation eased nearly to a 4 year low to 4.35% as on Dec. 3, down from 10.63% on Nov. 5. Now, moving ahead in the near term, we expect prices of most of the commodities to remain volatile & follow cues from there supply demand fundamentals. Among the spices complex, prices trend is expected to remain mixed, with pepper expected to show some correction once new crop arrivals hit market from January onwards while competitive rates in the international market & winter demand is expected to restrict strong losses. Among others, turmeric & cardamom prices are likely to see some recovery, but supply factors are likely to keep a check on major gains. Chilli & Jeera prices could see a consolidation phase before new crop arrives in Feb March while demand currently remains steady to marginal, as traders await new crop. In the oil seeds complex, prices trend is expected to remain sideways to positive with supply from fresh harvest is expected to increase while demand for the same from planters & exporters remains on the higher side, supported by current firm edible oil & other bi product prices in the international as well as domestic market. Among the edible oils, trend is expected to remain positive with upcoming festive & marriage season in India while on the supply side crushing & extraction activity has been on the lower side, as farmer's are holding back their output for a better price. The trend in the Guar complex has turned has turned very much bullish, after prices breached out from their consolidation phase. In the near term, the trend is expected to remain positive, due to continuous export demand even at current price levels; however we maintain caution on the guar complex, as prices have rallied significantly & are due for correction. Among other commodities, Mentha oil & Chana prices are expected to consolidate in a range while that of Sugar; Maize & Cotton are expected to remain sideways and could see some selling due to supply factors. Overall, we expect mixed trading sessions ahead and see volatility to increase with factors of demand supply adding further support to the prices movements & their trend.
