Turmeric prices rose by 0.17 per cent to Rs 6,040 per quintal in futures trade Thursday as participants raised their positions, driven by pick-up in demand at the spot market.
At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, turmeric for December moved up by Rs 10, or 0.17 per cent, to Rs 6,040 per quintal with an open interest of 275 lots.
However, the prices for far-month April drifted lower by Rs 26, or 0.4 per cent, to Rs 6,530 per quintal in futures trade as operators off-loaded bets, tracking a weak trend at the physical markets due to muted demand.
