Conclusions
• There was a significant increase in spot urad prices during the period of futures trading
• Although gram prices too have posted a moderate rise in the post-futures trading period, the impact was not found statistically significant.
• The average price increase and volatilities in urad, gram and total pulses have gone up during the period of futures trading
