Zinc futures prices today edged up by 0.32% to Rs 123.80 per kg as speculators created positions despite metal's weakness in the global market.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery in January up by 40 paise, or 0.32%, to Rs 123.80 per kg, with a business turnover of 9 lots.

The metal for delivery in current month, December also rose by 35 paise, or 0.29%, to Rs 123.05 per kg, with a business turnover of 274 lots.
