 "Lead marginally up on spot demand")
Lead futures rose marginally to Rs 106.05 per kg today on the back of strong demand in spot market and a firming trend overseas.
At Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for delivery in October traded higher by 10 paise, or 0.09%, at Rs 106.05 per kg with a turnover of 428 lots.
Metal for delivery in November also rose by a similar margin to trade at Rs 107.15 per kg with a modest volume of just three lots.
Marketmen said pick-up in domestic demand, particularly from battery-makers, and a firming trend in select base metals at the London Metal Exchange (LME), influenced lead prices in futures trade here.
