MUMBAI: Select base metals declined at the non-ferrous metal market here today due to stockist selling as well as lower industrial demand on the back falling trend in London Metal Exchange (LME).
Meanwhile, aluminium, brass and copper sheet cutting edged higher on modest demand from consumer industries.
The industrial metals weakened at the LME on stronger dollar against euro amid rising concerns over debt crises in Greece.
