Guar gum prices retreated by Rs 135 to Rs 10,025 per quintal in futures trading today after participants booked profits at higher levels, triggered by a weak sentiment at the physical market due to falling export demand.
At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, guar gum to be delivered in March was trading sharply lower by Rs 135 or 1.33 per cent to Rs 10,025 per quintal, with an open interest of 39,105 lots.
