Mentha oil prices fell further by 0.36 per cent to Rs 664.20 per kg in futures trade today as speculators indulged in reducing positions amidst falling demand from consuming industries in the spot market.

Besides, ample stocks position in the physical market on increased arrivals from Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh too added pressure on mentha oil.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, mentha oil for delivery in October fell further by Rs 2.40, or 0.36 per cent to Rs 664.20 per kg in business turnover of 87 lots.
