NEW DELHI, Mar 5: Lead futures were up 0.45 per cent at Rs 132.90 per kg on rising spot demand in domestic markets amid a firming trend overseas.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for delivery in March traded 60 paise, or 0.45 per cent, higher at Rs 132.90 per kg, with a turnover of 633 lots.
The metal for delivery in April also rose by 50 paise, or 0.37 per cent, to trade at Rs 133.95 per kg, in a business turnover of 12 lots.
Marketmen said apart from strong domestic demand, particularly from battery-makers, metal’s strength at the London Metal Exchange also influenced lead prices at futures trade here. (AGENCIES)
