Zinc futures fell by 0.26% today as participants reduced exposures on a weak trend in base metals in the global market and subdued spot demand.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery in July traded lower by 35 paise, or 0.26%, to Rs 133.15 per kg, with a business turnover of 255 lots.
The metal for delivery in August fell by 25 paise, or 0.19%, to Rs 134 per kg in a turnover of eight lots.
Marketmen said the fall in zinc prices at futures trade was mostly in tandem with a weak trend in the entire base metals at the London Metal Exchange and sluggish demand at spot markets from consuming domestic industries.
