Kochi: Pepper futures on Monday dropped on selling pressure and under the influence of the stock market crash. Spot also showed a decline.
Liquidity crunch was also pointed out as the reason for the fall. There were strong rumours in the air during early trading that the Regulator would withdraw the quantity restrictions on nearby month positions on Monday and that has encouraged buying. However, as nothing of the sort has emanated till late afternoon, those who bought were selling it back creating pressure contributing to the decline in the prices, market sources told Business Line.
Some of the exporters were covering small lots to meet their earlier commitments, they said. Domestic demand was steady.
Arrivals continued to remain at almost half of the volume used to come during these days in the harvesting season.
