At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, sugar for delivery in May month declined by Rs 7, or 0.20 per cent to Rs 3,475 per quintal with an open interest of 1,18,600 lots.
On similar lines, the sweetener for delivery in far-month July traded lower by Rs 5, or 0.14 per cent to Rs 3,607 per quintal in 24,580 lots.
Market analysts said trimming of positions by traders, triggered by adequate stocks position on higher supplies from mills in the physical market against lower demand from bulk consumers, mainly kept pressure on sugar prices at futures trade.
