India guar futures dragged down by weak spot
MUMBAI, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Indian guar futures ended lower on Friday tracking a weak spot market, analysts said.
Arrivals have begun in Rajasthan and Haryana, the major growing states, two weeks ago. Daily average arrivals are about 15,000 bags of 100 kg each, traders and analysts said.
Spot prices fell by 17 rupees to 1,662 rupees per 100 kg in Bikaner, a major trading centre.
