Coriander futures prices fell by 1.56% to Rs 6,741 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at existing higher levels, influenced by a decline in demand in spot market.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, coriander for delivery in November fell by Rs 107, or 1.56%, to Rs 6,741 per quintal with open interest of 16,860 lots.

The spice of December delivery declined by Rs 103, or 1.46%, to Rs 6,939 per quintal with an open interest of 11,680 lots.

Market analysts said besides profit-booking by speculators at existing higher levels, sluggish demand in the spot market led to the fall in coriander futures prices.
