Tin and zinc prices slipped in an otherwise lacklustre trade at the non-ferrous metals market here today due to stockists selling amid reduced demand from alloy industries.
However, nickel recovered following renewed offtake from consuming industries.
On the global front, industrial metals climbed as Chinese copper smelters looked likely to build inventories to support prices after they announced plans to cut production next year.
Tin fell by Rs 5 per kg to Rs 1,145 from Thursday's closing level of Rs 1,150.
Zinc moved down by Rs 3 per kg to Rs 135 from Rs 138.
However, nickel rose by Rs 5 per kg to Rs 730 as compared to Rs 725 yesterday.
