Coriander prices declined by Rs 67 to Rs 4,237 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at prevailing higher levels, driven by a weak trend at the spot market on subdued demand.
At the National Commodity Exchange, coriander for delivery in November declined by Rs 67, or 1.56%, to Rs 4,237 per quintal, with an open interest of 9,750 lots.
October coriander shed Rs 56, or 1.36%, to Rs 4,065 per quintal, with an open interest of 22,260 lots.
Marketmen said besides profit-booking by speculators at prevailing higher levels, subdued demand in the spot market led to the decline in coriander futures prices.
