Taking negative cues from the global markets, zinc prices slipped marginally by 0.58 per cent to Rs 112.05 per kg in futures trading today.
Also, sluggish spot demand weighed on the zinc futures prices here.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for April contract traded marginally lower by 65 paise, or 0.58 per cent, to Rs 112.05 per kg, with business turnover of three lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in March contract weakened by 60 paise, or 0.54 per cent, to Rs 111 per kg, with a business volume of 10 lots.
