Ahmedabad, June 13 (CommoditiesControl): The decline in cumin prices in Gujarat has halted, with a notable improvement recorded today. Prices of cumin in the state increased by Rs 50-75 per 20 kg. The spot market received support due to the improvement in future prices. Traders indicate that the market’s direction will depend on how cumin selling trends evolve in the future.
According to a trader from Unjha, cumin prices are influenced more by speculative activity rather than fundamental factors. Exporters often quote high prices, but actual trade does not occur at these rates. To maintain market stability, exporters, in collaboration with other traders, place high bids. However, these high prices do not reflect the actual trade value. Despite cumin reaching historical price levels last year, traders still faced losses.
