Recovery hopes
Hopes of a recovery in export demand as supplies from other producing centres were disrupted helped traders restrict losses, said a report from Kedia Commodity.
Stockist demand has risen in the domestic market ahead of the festival season and tight international supplies may boost it further, said market sources.
