Cardamom futures succumb to profit-booking, down 0.95%

Cardamom prices fell 0.95 per cent to Rs 1,085 per kg in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at prevailing levels amid easing demand in the spot market.
Besides, sufficient stocks on higher arrivals from the major producing regions too weighed on the prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in September contract fell by Rs 10.40, or 0.95 per cent, to Rs 1,085 per kg, in a business turnover of 53 lots.
