Lead prices were trading down by 0.04 per cent to Rs 125.45 per kg in futures trade Wednesday after participants booked profits amid subdued demand at the spot market.
On the Multi commodity Exchange, lead for delivery in May contracts was trading down by 5 paise, or 0.04 per cent, to Rs 125.45 per kg in a business turnover of 5,812 lots.
