Mustard seed prices bounced by Rs 10 to Rs 3,907 per quintal as traders preferred to reassemble positions at prevailing levels, backed by a firm trend in the physical market.

According to marketmen, fresh positions created by participants, tracking a firm trend at the spot market on pick-up in demand from mills amid tight supplies from growing belts, supported the recovery in mustard seed prices here.


At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, mustard seed for the most-traded delivery in November contracts traded higher by Rs 10, or 0.26 per cent, to Rs 3,907 per quintal, with a business turnover of 30,250 open lots.
