Reuters-sourced Asia rice report notes Indian 5% parboiled quotes at $390-397/ton, lifted by rupee strength despite weak demand. Thai 5% broken held near $410/ton and Bangladesh lifted its aromatic rice export ban for up to 25,000 tonnes.
Bangladesh allowing aromatic exports adds modest supply, while a firmer rupee narrows Indian exporters' margins, leaving global rice prices broadly steady.
After 70 past neutral trade events, Rough Rice moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.9%), and +1.3% over 20.
