Barring chana, pulses and pulse seeds ruled steady. Chana, which remained bearish on Monday following slight decline in buying by stockists, perked up on Tuesday on higher futures and improved buying in the physical market.
Spot chana prices, which opened at Rs 2,950 a quintal in the morning, rose to Rs 3,050 a quintal following a rise in futures on the National Commodity Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX). However, chana prices in the evening declined to Rs 3,000 a quintal as buying declined at the higher rate. Chana ( desi ) ruled at Rs 2,900-2,925.
The rise in chana prices has especially benefited those who built up large stocks of chana in the past two years, trade sources said. Traders, however, feel the bullish trend in chana is unlikely to continue for long, unless demand for chana dal rises. Higher spot chana also perked up its dal on Tuesday, with chana dal (bold) being quoted Rs 25 up at Rs 3,700-3,725, chana dal (medium) at Rs 3,600-3,625 and chana dal (average) at Rs 3,500-3,525 a quintal.
Masoor declined on subdued demand with masoor (bold) being quoted Rs 25 down at Rs 2,850 a quintal. Masoor (medium) ruled at Rs 2,500-2,550. Masoor dal, however, remained steady with masoor dal (bold) ruling at Rs 3,400-3,425, masoor dal (medium) at Rs 3,300-3,325 and masoor dal (average) at Rs 3,175-3,200 a quintal.
Tur and its dal remained stable with tur (Maharashtra) being quoted at Rs 3,050-3,100 and tur (Nimari) at Rs 2,400-2,600 a quintal. Tur (marka) quoted at Rs 5,900, tur dal (full) at Rs 5,300-5,350 and tur dal ( sawa no.) at Rs 4,300-4,350 a quintal.
Moong and urad remained steady despite lack of demand with moong (best) ruling at Rs 4,000-4,300 and moong (medium) at Rs 3,600-3,800. Moong (monger) ruled at Rs 5,600-5,700, moong dal (bold) at Rs 5,400-5,600 and moong dal (average) at Rs 5,100-5,200 a quintal.
Urad ruled firm at Rs 4,000-4,100 and urad (medium) sold at Rs 3,600 a quintal. Urad (monger) ruled at Rs 6,500-6,700, urad dal (bold) at Rs 5,500-5,600 and urad dal ( chilka ) at Rs 4,600-4,700 a quintal.
