Coriander prices fell by 1.16% to Rs 5,450 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at existing higher levels influenced by falling demand in spot markets against increased arrivals.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, coriander for delivery in September fell by Rs 64, or 1.16%, to Rs 5,450 per quintal with an open interest of 9,780 lots.
The commodity in August delivery declined by Rs 60, or 1.10%, to Rs 5,375 per quintal with an open interest of 17,940 lots.
Market analysts said besides profit-booking by speculators at existing higher levels, sluggish demand in the spot market led to the fall in coriander prices.
