Cardamom prices extended losses for third straight day by losing Rs 2.30 to Rs 758.60 per kg in futures trade today as speculators trimmed their positions, driven by weak demand in spot market.
Adequate stocks position in the physical market on increased arrivals from producing regions also influenced cardamom prices.

Likewise, the spice for delivery in October shed 70 paise, or 0.09% to Rs 791 per kg in 8 lots.
