Chana prices drifted down by 0.30 per cent to Rs 3,626 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators trimmed positions, taking negative cues from spot market on sluggish demand from dal mills.

Likewise, the commodity for delivery in July contracts shed Rs 9, or 0.25 per cent, to Rs 3,660 per quintal in 35,630 lots.
