Jeera prices fell by Rs 109 to Rs 14,945 per quintal in futures trade on Tuesday as speculators reduced their position, driven by a weak export demand.

At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, jeera for delivery in September fell by Rs 109, or 0.72 per cent, to Rs 14,945 per quintal, with an open interest of 354 lots.

Similarly, the spice for delivery in June lost Rs 59, or 0.42 per cent, to Rs 13,871 per quintal, with an open interest of 8,082 lots.

Analysts said off-loading of positions by speculators on the back of weak export demand mainly led to the fall in jeera prices at futures trade.
