Indian rice prices reached their highest in 6.5 years, with 5% broken parboiled rising to $447-$451 per tonne. Rising overseas inquiries and limited supply, plus a rupee near a 32-month high, drove the rally.
India's 2017 rice exports are estimated at a record 12.3 million tonnes.
Tight export supply and a stronger rupee squeezing exporter margins are pushing up world rice quotes, raising the cost of rice-based feed ingredients.
After 189 past bullish trade events, RICE moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.7% to +2.4%), and +1.0% over 20.
