NCDEX
 Maize futures could ease further today though some bargain hunting can 
emerge in the counter given the recent correction. Maize futures 
witnessed some selling in last session. The commodity has mostly been 
pressed lower on good supplies in the current week. Market has been 
stressed on worries about bird flu in China and higher US stockpiles. 
The local arrivals are improving but the production is lower in India 
this time around. This could support prices once the peak procurement 
period starts in late May-June. NCDEX June futures closed at Rs 1169 per
 quintal today, down Rs 7 per quintal or 0.60 % with a 2.30% increase 
open interest.
Rabi Maize output is likely to be 15.59 Million 
Tonnes, down 5.50% over the year. Total Maize output is likely to be 
21.06 Million Tonnes, down 3.22%, indicating a shortfall for the 
commodity on the whole. However, Maize supplies are rising and would 
keep a tab on prices in near term. The spot prices of the commodity 
slipped last week towards Rs 1400 per quintal during last week in 
Delhi.
The spot prices of industrial grade Maize in Delhi have 
been pushed lower on continued increase in the fresh arrivals of the 
commodity from Bihar. The increase in arrivals of other grains like 
Wheat and Barley could also underpin bearish mood in market. Prices are 
currently at their lowest level in two and a half months.
