NEW DELHI, Feb 20: Coriander futures prices fell by Rs 84 to Rs 6,950 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators reduced their positions on the back of sluggish demand in the spot market.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, coriander for delivery in May fell by Rs 84, or 1.19 per cent, to Rs 6,950 per quintal with an open interest of 13,140 lots.
The spice for April delivery declined by Rs 80, or 1.15 per cent to Rs 6,836 per quintal with open interest of 31,850 lots.
Market analysts said besides profit-booking by speculators at existing higher levels, sluggish demand in the spot market led to the fall in coriander futures prices. (PTI)
