Coriander prices rose by 2.39% to Rs 7,528 per quintal in futures trade today after speculators enlarged their holdings on firming spot markets trend.
The trading sentiment improved further as a result of the limited stocks on account of restricted arrivals from the major growing belts.

Similarly, the spice for delivery in January moved up by Rs 165, or 2.14%, to Rs 7,871 per quintal, with open interest of 31,430 lots.
Marketmen said fresh positions created by speculators, driven by pick-up in demand in spot market against less arrivals mainly pushed up coriander futures prices.
