Jeera prices fell by Rs 85 or 0.69 per cent to Rs 12,200 per quintal in futures trade today after speculators booked profits amid higher output estimates.
However, good demand in spot markets restricted losses. On the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange counter, jeera for delivery in August traded Rs 85, or 0.69 per cent lower at Rs 12,200 per quintal, with an open interest of 8,793 lots.
