Cardamom prices rose by 0.67% to Rs 940.70 per kg in futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions after demand picked-up in the spot market against restricted supplies from producing belts.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in June rose by Rs 6.30, or 0.67% to Rs 940.70 per kg in business turnover of 45 lots.

Likewise, the spice for delivery in May edged higher by Rs 5.20, or 0.57% to Rs 914.70 per kg in 219 lots.
