Lead prices traded lower by 0.55 per cent to Rs 135.20 per kg in futures market today as speculators

Sugar futures dropped due to poor demand and ample stocks with mills, and many trade and  industry officials believe the contract could fall further.

The key December contract was down 0.11 percent at 2,837 rupees per 100 kg at 1033 GMT on  the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange.

India started the new sugar-marketing year with carry-forward stocks of 8.8 million tonnes. The
country is expected to produce 25 million tonnes this year against a demand of 23 million  tonnes.

A pick-up in exports could help mills in trimming inventory and support prices, dealers said. Indian traders have struck deals to export about 175,000 tonnes of raw sugar for DecemberJanuary delivery, marking their first sale in the new season that started on Oct. 1.
