Review:
MCX mentha oil futures traded on positive note for the second day in a row on Thursday on extended short covering
with muted trade participation. However, spot markets witnessed sluggish trend because of fresh arrivals across all
market. Most active June contract futures made an intraday high of Rs. 1165.20 per kg from the low of Rs. 1138.00
per kg and ended the session at Rs. 1156.60 per kg gaining by 1.07%.
Outlook:

However, in late trading hours market is expected to resume the downtrend on resumption of selling pressure.
Bumper crop harvest and peak arrival season would keep the cap of rise in the prices. According to preliminary
estimates, menthe oil production in 2018-19 would be 40,000 – 45,000 MTs against last year’s production of 35,000
MTs.
