Kochi: Pepper futures market on Tuesday moved up on good buying support. Speculatively, futures market was down and now it has corrected itself, market sources told Business Line.
Exporters having earlier commitments and investors were buying.
What ever quantity arrived at the terminal market which is almost half of what used to arrive normally at this time in the previous seasons, is easily absorbed, they said.
Even after the harvesting has picked up to full swing there has not been any selling pressure so far.
It appears that the growers who had liquidated their stock earlier when the prices were ruling high are replenishing their stock.
• Quarterly results of corporates: Check out
Some dealers are, even, apprehensive of a fall in the production more than what was projected earlier, they said.
Not much offering from other origins also. Brazil continues to offer at $3,600 a tonne (f.o.b.).
Indonesian market is closed. Indian parity remained above $3,900 a tonne (c&f).
Spot market ruled steady.
