Base metals led by aluminium fell by Rs 2 per kg at the non-ferrous metal markets today in line with a muted trend overseas.
Besides, subdued demand from consuming industries at the domestic spot market fuelled the downtrend.
Traders said sentiment remained muted on the back of a weak trend overseas where aluminium fell 1.3 per cent as the deadline extension to comply with US sanctions on Rusal,
one of the world's biggest aluminium producers, pulled down prices.
Globally, aluminium for delivery in three-month was
down 1.3 per cent at USD 2,217 a tonne a metric tonne on the
London Metal Exchange
