Lead for delivery in July moved up by 15 paise, or 0.12 per cent, to Rs 123.20 per kg, in a business turnover of 456 lots in futures trading at the Multi Commodity Exchange.
On similar lines, the metal for delivery in August month was trading higher by 5 paise, or 0.04 per cent, at Rs 124.20 per kg in 29 lots.
Analysts said better demand from battery makers in the spot market, mainly supported the upmove in lead futures but a weak trend in base metals overseas, limited the gains.
