Nifty 50 fell 1.56 percent, a theme relevant across the commodity complex too.

Levels in Focus for Tomorrow

Zinc traded between 414.40 and 421.70 on Monday, against a previous close of 422.35. Reclaiming 422.35 would be the first sign that selling pressure is easing, while a fresh break below 414.40 would put the day’s low back in play.

Traders relying on this zinc prediction for tomorrow should still size positions to their own risk appetite.

Zinc Prediction for Tomorrow: Key Levels

Univest’s desk is watching whether zinc can extend its soft tone into 29 September 2026. A sustained move in crude oil prices and the US Dollar Index overnight will be the main swing factor, since both influence MCX pricing directly.

Key Drivers for Tomorrow

Crude oil surged 4.85 percent on MCX, driven by renewed US-Iran tensions and doubts over the Strait of Hormuz that pushed Brent back above 106 dollars a barrel.
Renewed US-Iran tensions, Brent crude above 106 dollars, a US 10-year Treasury yield near 5.17 percent and steady foreign selling pushed India VIX up 12.17 percent to 13.64 and the Nifty 50 below 23,000, its lowest in about six months.
Movement in the US Dollar Index, which typically has an inverse relationship with metal and bullion prices on MCX.

Stocks to Watch Alongside This Commodity

Zinc’s decline, alongside copper’s, points to softer industrial demand expectations amid the risk-off session.
