Fairly subdued maize market activity is taking place, leading to lower prices in market yards. The reason is more so on the quality front wherein required quality cargo is not available and what is available is not of required specs hence trading lower. This has become the trend of the Maize trade this year. Destination prices continue to remain same with a weaker tone for the coming week. Levels are as below

Tamil Nadu :- Trucks 1560-1620,

Bangalore :- Trucks 1480-1500

Hyderabad :- trucks 1530-1570

Bihar :- 1450-1650 (Good Quality).

North :- 1540-1560

Sangli    : -1475-1500

Port delivered prices continue to remain in range of 1520-1560 for vizag and other ports.

Exchange :-

We have nothing to report on this front.

International Market :-

The reaction to USDA report by our US office attached herewith. The Jan report will be very crucial from trade point of view as usually December report is considered to be providing the same numbers by the USDA, cbot trading at 420 cents/bushel. SE Asia market still wants Indian corn though at discounted valuations.
