Maize arrivals started in the markets though the quality is on high moisture

Arrivals started in the markets though the quality is on high moisture side and it should be a fortnight before we start getting good quality cargoes in the market. The rumours of crop losses have come down and markets now talk about the Telangana tender cargoes and the demand thereof. Product prices continue to remain strong and  we should see better results for poultry players at these product price levels. On the onset of winter we should see demand rising especially for eggs and with opening of restaurants, the QSR demand for chicken will start to come back. Speed will be the question but the direction is positive. Destination market prices are as below

USDA report on Friday holds the key to the market from hereon in, weather contingencies are playing their part and how does USDA factors it in (or not) will need to be seen.
