Lead prices declined by Rs 1.95 to Rs 114.95 a kg in futures trading on Tuesday as speculators reduced their positions on the back of a weakening global trend.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for delivery in March declined by Rs 1.95, or 1.67 per cent, to Rs 114.95 a kg, with a business turnover of seven lots.
