Tracking a subdued trend in base metals at the London Metal Exchange amid sluggish demand, zinc prices fell by 0.94% to Rs 111.20 per kg in futures trade today.
Profit-booking put pressure on the zinc futures.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery in October declined by Rs 1.05, or 0.94%, to Rs 111.20 per kg, with a business turnover of 211 lots.
September zinc shed Re 1, or 0.90%, to Rs 110.35 per kg in 1,064 lots.
Marketmen said profit-booking and a weak trend in the entire base metals pack at the London Metal Exchange (LME) on a strong dollar and concerns over Europe's debt worries, led to the fall in zinc futures.
Meanwhile, zinc fell $11.25, or 0.53%, to $2,104.25 per tonne at the LME.
