Lead futures traded higher by 0.43% to Rs 117.80 per kg today on a firming trend in select metals in global markets amid increased demand from domestic battery-makers.

In futures trading at Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for delivery this month traded higher by 50 paise, or 0.43%, at Rs 117.80 per kg, with a turnover of 4,195 lots.
