Cardamom prices declined by Rs 7.10 to Rs 1,122 a kg in futures trade today as speculators indulged in profit-booking amid a weak trend at the spot markets due to subdued demand.
Adequate stocks position in the physical market also put pressure on prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in April declined by Rs 7.10 or 0.63 per cent to Rs 1,122 a kg, with a business turnover of two lots.
Similarly, the spice for delivery in May lost Rs 5.60 or 0.48 per cent to Rs 1,154 a kg, with an open interest of a single lot.
