Subdued demand and poor buying in the physical market kept pulses sluggish. Weak demand and declining futures pulled down spot chana by Rs 60 to Rs 2,800-2,825 a quintal on the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange.
Chana ( desi ) ruled at Rs 2,775 a quintal. On Thursday, chana had zoomed to Rs 2,900 a quintal with a cartel of big stockists maintaining their sway in the futures market. Decline in spot chana dragged chana dal, with chana dal (bold) selling at Rs 3,550-3,600 a quintal, chana dal (medium) at Rs 3,450-3,500 and chana dal (average) at Rs 3,350-3,400 a quintal.
Weak demand also dragged masoor. Masoor (bold) was Rs 40 down at Rs 2,810 a quintal in the spot market and masoor (medium) quoted at Rs 2,500. Masoor dal, however, ruled steady at Rs 3,500-3,525 and masoor dal (medium) at Rs 3,330-3,320 a quintal.
Tur ruled firm, with tur (Maharashtra) selling at Rs 3,150 and tur (Nimari) at Rs 2,600-2,700 a quintal. Tur (marka) ruled at Rs 6,100, tur dal (full) at Rs 5,500-5,550 and tur dal ( sawa no.) at Rs 4,500-4,600.
