Zinc prices declined on Tuesday, falling 0.36% to Rs 292.10 per kilogram in futures trading, as speculators reduced exposure amid negative cues from the spot market.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), November zinc contracts traded lower by Rs 1.05 (0.36%) at Rs 292.10 per kg across 1,463 lots.
Analysts attributed the decline to position trimming by participants, driven by sluggish demand from consuming industries in the physical market.
