Lead futures prices edged up by 1.23 per cent today, as speculators enlarged their positions, driven by a firming trend at the London Metal Exchange (LME).
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for February contract gained Rs 1.40 or 1.23 per cent to Rs 115.20 per kg with a trade turnover of 15 lots. Similarly, the metal for delivery in January also gained Rs 1.35 or 1.17 per cent to Rs 116.25 per kg with a business volume of 12 lots.
Market analysts said besides good demand at the spot market from battery makers, a firming trend in copper and other base metals at the LME also influenced the lead prices at the futures trade.
At the LME, lead added 0.7 per cent to $2,455 a tonne in the early trade today.
