Lead eased by 0.34 per cent to Rs 144.65 per kg in futures trade today in tandem with a weakening trend in base metals at the domestic spot markets due to muted demand.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for delivery in April was trading 50 paise or 0.34 per cent down at Rs 144.65 per kg in a business turnover of 26 lots.
The metal for delivery May also fell by a similar margin to trade at Rs 145.20 per kg with a business volume of just one lot.
Marketmen said a weak trend in select base metals at the domestic spot markets due to slackened demand form consuming industries, mainly kept pressure on lead futures here.
