Guar gum prices fell by Rs 114 to Rs 9,110 per 5 quintal in futures market Wednesday on liquidated holdings by the operators in line with weak physical market trend.

Marketmen attributed the downward trend in guar gum prices to thin demand and increasing supplies from growing regions in the spot market.
