Amid profit-booking by speculators and weak overseas demand, jeera prices fell by 1.64% to Rs 13,470 per quintal in futures trade today.
Thin supplies in the spot markets restricted the losses.
At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, jeera for delivery in October fell by Rs 225, or 1.64%, to Rs 13,470 per quintal, with a turnover of 15,366 lots.
November jeera traded lower by Rs 210, or 1.50%, to Rs 13,780 per quintal, with an open interest of 13,950 lots.
