Guar gum futures slipped by Rs 22 to Rs 9,402 per quintal on Wednesday as traders reduced positions amid sluggish demand and sufficient supplies in the spot market.

On the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX), guar gum for October delivery fell by Rs 22 or 0.23 per cent to Rs 9,402 per quintal in 50,615 lots.

Analysts attributed the decline to subdued demand in the spot market and ample arrivals from key growing regions, which exerted pressure on prices.
