Lead prices fell by 0.85 per cent in futures trade Monday as participants reduced their positions due to muted demand at the domestic spot market.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for delivery in June was down by Rs 1.25, or 0.85 per cent, to Rs 146.60 per kg in a business turnover of 281 lots.
Marketmen said offloading of bets by participants, tracking a weak trend at the domestic spot market due to weak demand, led to the fall in lead futures here.
