Snapping its three-day losing streak, mentha oil prices rose 0.48% to Rs 861 per kg in futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions on the back of increased demand from consuming industries in the spot market.

Besides, tight supplies in the physical market following less arrivals from Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh supported the uptrend.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, mentha oil for delivery in September rose by Rs 4.10, or 0.48% to Rs 861 per kg in business turnover of 149 lots.
