India spices futures seen opening higher on demand

MUMBAI, May 6 (Reuters) - Indian spices futures are likely to open higher on Tuesday due to good domestic and export demand, analysts said.

Pepper futures are expected to open firm on fresh export demand and low arrivals, analysts said.

The benchmark June pepper NPEM8 ended on Monday at 14,518 rupees per 100 kg, down 0.2 percent.

JEERA

Jeera futures are expected to rise in the early trade on demand from domestic as well as export markets, but higher arrivals may pull down prices in the later part of the day.

TURMERIC:

Turmeric futures may open a bit higher on good demand from stockists and lower output estimates due to reduced acreage, analysts said.
