Supported by rising demand at the domestic spot market, zinc futures today edged up by 0.23 per cent to Rs 153.10 per kg as speculators enlarged positions.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery in the current month moved up by 35 paise or 0.23 per cent to Rs 153.10 per kg with a business turnover of 983 lots.
The metal for delivery in September was trading higher by 15 paise or 0.10 per cent to Rs 153.25 per kg in 17 lots.
