New Delhi, May 12 – Coriander prices edged higher by ₹32 to settle at ₹6,944 per quintal in futures trade on Monday, driven by increased speculative buying and a strong trend in the spot market.
On the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX), coriander contracts for June delivery recorded a gain of ₹32 or 0.46 percent, with an open interest of 19,170 lots.
According to market analysts, the uptrend was supported by restricted supplies from key producing regions and consistent demand in the spot market, prompting speculators to ramp up their holdings.
