At the Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for delivery in August fell 35 paise, or 0.33%, to Rs 104.95 per kg, with a business turnover of 46 lots.

The July contract shed 25 paise, or 0.24%, to Rs 103.80 per kg, with business volume of 1,263 lots.

Analysts said a weak trend in copper and other base metals at the London Metal Exchange (LME) as uncertainty that the US Federal Reserve would introduce new stimulus measures, led to a fall in lead futures here.

Besides, subdued demand at domestic spot markets also put pressure on the metal prices, they said.

At the LME, lead down as much as 0.27% to $1,863 per tonne.
