Indian 5% broken parboiled rice rose to $352-$357 per ton, its third straight weekly gain, after the government raised OMSS reserve prices. Floods in Bangladesh damaged crops on about 28,610 hectares, and farmers planted summer rice on 11.5 million hectares versus 12.6 million a year earlier.
Higher Indian reserve prices and weaker monsoon planting outlook support Asian rice prices, while reduced planted area tightens export supply.
After 168 past bullish policy events, Rough Rice moved a median +0.8% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.7% to +2.1%), and -0.4% over 20.
