Guar seed prices slumped by Rs 107.50 to Rs 4,326.50 per quintal in futures trade today as traders preferred to cut their holdings, dampened by negative physical markets stance.
Markertmen attributed the downslide in guar seed futures prices to soaring stocks on non-stop arrivals from growing areas amid paucity of demand from guar gum makers at existing levels in the spot markets.
