Jeera moves up 0.4% on spot demand

Jeera futures for March rose by Rs 55, or 0.42% to Rs 13,225 per quintal in 10,326 lots.

At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX), the April contract rose by Rs 40, or 0.3% to Rs 13,292.50 per quintal in 7404 lots.

Prices went up as speculators created fresh positions after some improvement in spot market demand.

However, rising supplies of the new crop and expectations of a rise in output this season limited the gains.
