  1. गुजरात, महाराष्ट्र और राजस्थान के कुछ इलाकों में पिछले हफ्ते से बारिश आज भी जारी है और मौसम विभाग के मुताबिक अगले 24 घंटे इन इलाकों में बारिश जारी रहेगी। कल गुजरात के सौराष्ट्र इलाके में सामान्य से करीब आठ गुना ज्यादा बारिश हुई। गुजरात के दूसरे इलाकों के साथ महाराष्ट्र और पश्चिमी मध्य प्रदेश में भी बारिश की स्थिति सुधरी है। इन इलाकों में कपास के अलावा सोयाबीन की भी खेती होती है। साथ ही खरीफ दाल की भी ज्यादातर खेती इन्ही इलाकों में होती है। पूर्वी भारत में ओडिशा और बंगाल के अलावा छत्तीसगढ़ में भी जोरदार बारिश हो रही है। ऐसे में कमोडिटी बाजार के सेंटीमेंट पर बड़ा असर पड़ा है।
