Mustardseed prices were up by Rs 47 to Rs 4,757 per quintal in futures trading today after speculators enlarged their position amid a firm trend at the spot markets.
At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, mustardseed for delivery in July rose by Rs 47 or 1 per cent to Rs 4,757 per quintal, with an open interest of 89,450 lots.
Also, delivery in far-month August advanced by Rs 42 or 0.88 per cent to Rs 4,825 per quintal in an open interest of 25,960 lots.
