Turmeric futures prices today rose by 3.16% to Rs 4,702 per quintal as speculators enlarged their positions supported by a pick up in demand amid restricted arrivals from producing belts.

At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, turmeric for delivery in November gained Rs 144, or 3.16%, to Rs 4,702 per quintal, with an open interest of 310 lots.

Likewise, the spice for delivery in December edged up by Rs 60, or 1.27%, to Rs 4,796 per quintal, with an open interest of 1,027 lots.
