On the downside, 417.10 is the first reference level to watch if Monday’s weakness extends. On the upside, 422.05 and 423.20 mark the nearest resistance. Univest’s analysts treat these as reference points drawn from Monday’s trading range, not as targets.

Negative	417.10	422.05, 423.20

MCX contracts keep trading into the evening, so the last traded price can differ from the figures above by the time you read this. The levels here use the 30 October 2026 contract.

Key Drivers for Tomorrow

Zinc fell 0.64 percent on the MCX 30 October contract, with a high of 423.20 and a low of 417.10.
Copper was flat, so zinc was weaker than its base-metal peer.
Zinc demand links to galvanising and infrastructure, which ties it to the construction and auto cycles.

Anyone following this zinc prediction for tomorrow should keep the next session’s opening range in view before reading too much into early moves.

What to Watch Alongside Zinc

Hindustan Zinc and other metal stocks are the equity names most closely tied to zinc prices, and Nifty Metal fell 0.41 percent on Monday. Univest is not tracking a specific stock move beyond the index.

How Monday’s Broader Session Unfolded

The Nifty 50 closed at 22,363.35, down 0.70 percent, with a high of 22,651.10 and a low of 22,304.45. The Sensex closed at 71,924.68, down 0.76 percent, and the Bank Nifty closed at 54,918.00, down 0.61 percent. India VIX, the market’s fear gauge, rose 6.26 percent to 15.28, which usually points to higher expected swings in the near term. The Monday decline followed a rebound on Friday, so part of the move may be a pullback rather than a fresh downtrend. The trigger for the broad decline was not independently confirmed.

Univest’s analysts suggest treating this zinc prediction for tomorrow as a preparation note for Tuesday, 13 October 2026, rather than a signal that changes overnight.

Analyst View for Tomorrow

Kunal Singla suggests that zinc can stabilise above 417.10, with 422.05 the level to reclaim.

Ankit Jaiswal flags that zinc is a thinner contract than gold or crude, so price gaps can be larger than expected.

This zinc prediction for tomorrow will be most useful when read alongside the support and resistance table above.

Why This Is Written for Tomorrow

This zinc prediction for tomorrow is written after the close on Monday, 12 October 2026, using Monday’s closing data, for the next trading session on Tuesday, 13 October 2026. Treat it as a briefing to prepare for that session, not a live call that updates through the evening.

MCX futures trade into Monday night, so global moves late on Monday can shift Tuesday’s opening price.

A fair reading of this zinc prediction for tomorrow is that Monday’s data sets the context, while Tuesday’s first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
