Jeera prices fell by Rs 126 to Rs 13,275 per quintal in futures trade today, as speculators reduced their positions on subdued demand in the spot market.
Fresh arrivals in the physical market also put some pressure on the prices.
At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange counter, jeera for delivery in December fell by Rs 126, or 0.94 per cent, to Rs 13,275 per quintal, with an open interest of 5,601 lots.
Similarly, the spice for delivery in the month of October lost Rs 89, or 0.68 per cent, to Rs 12,991 per quintal, with an open interest of 8,742 lots.
Analysts said subdued demand in spot markets against new arrivals mainly led to a fall in jeera prices in futures trade.
