At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery in the current month traded lower 35 paise, or 0.28 per cent, to Rs 123.75 per kg, with a business turnover of 172 lots.
The metal for delivery in April month fell 25 paise, or 0.20 per cent, to Rs 124.45 per kg in a turnover of three lots.
Traders said the fall in zinc prices in futures trade was mostly in tandem with a weak trend in metal at the London Metal Exchange (LME) where it dropped for a second day, after touching its highest level in seven months earlier this week, due to a steady dollar and lackluster demand in China, the world's biggest user.
