Zinc futures down 0.35 pc

NEW DELHI, Mar 10: Zinc futures prices today fell marginally by 0.35 per cent 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 per cent, 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 per cent, 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. (AGENCIES)
