Hindalco Industries, Sterlite Industries, Tata Steel, Sesa Goa, NMDC and Hindustan Zinc are trading higher in the range of 2-4% on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
The BSE metal index, the largest gainer among sectoral indices, is up nearly 2% or 172 points at 8,958 compared to 0.24% rise in benchmark Sensex at 19,622 points at 1050 hours.
The US economy created a net 165,000 jobs in April much higher than market expectation, as per the Labor Department. US jobs data brightened demand prospects for the industrial metal.
