Ahead of the new crop, Iran has solidified control over the global markets. They are withdrawing offers when prices fall below €1,500 per kilo for standard grades. This is about 6 % higher than the beginning of the month with decreases in harvest quantities (see article) and with the price manipulation as the Iranian coop controls a solid amount of the international market.
Obviously this only goes so far as demand falls... and there is not lots of saffron to sell anyway so I don't think we'll see any declines (except perhaps for FOREX) through the next few months and with the new season...
I advise shipping at current prices to cover only HOLIDAY needs for now... Suppliers are relatively short.
