Zinc futures prices today fell marginally by 0.35% to Rs 126.45 per kg, largely in line with a weak trend in the global markets and subdued spot demand.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery in April fell by 45 paise, or 0.35%, to Rs 126.45 per kg, with a business turnover of 44 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in March fell by 40 paise, or 0.32%, to trade at Rs 125.75 per kg, with a business turnover of 844 lots.
Marketmen said besides sluggish domestic demand, a weak trend in the entire base metals at the London Metal Exchange (LME) following weak Chinese economic data, which raised demand concern, put pressure on zinc futures prices here.
