Zinc Prediction for Monday, 28 September 2026

This zinc prediction for monday follows a Friday, 25 September 2026 session in which broader equity markets extended their recovery, with Nifty 50 gaining 0.34 percent to 23,140.50 as India VIX eased 4.18 percent to a calmer 12.16, its second straight session of easing after Thursday's sharp spike, with Nifty Auto leading equity gains even as crude oil and natural gas both reversed sharply lower.

Friday's Recap

• Zinc closed at Rs 427.55 per kg, up 0.19 percent on the 30 October 2026 futures.
• Nifty 50 gained 0.34 percent, extending its recovery from Thursday's sharp sell-off.

Zinc Prediction for Monday: Key Levels

Univest's desk is watching whether zinc can extend its firm tone into 28 September 2026. A sustained move in crude oil prices and the US Dollar Index over the weekend will be the main swing factor, since both influence MCX pricing directly.

Key Drivers for Monday

• Crude oil fell sharply, down 2.79 percent on mcx, reversing thursday's spike as the risk premium tied to earlier geopolitical tensions unwound.
• India vix eased 4.18 percent to a calmer 12.16, its second straight session of easing after thursday's sharp spike, with nifty auto leading equity gains even as crude oil and natural gas both reversed sharply lower.
• Movement in the US Dollar Index, which typically has an inverse relationship with metal and bullion prices on MCX.

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

Stocks to Watch Alongside This Commodity

Zinc's mild strength today, alongside copper's near-flat move, points to steady rather than sharply directional industrial metal sentiment heading into next week.

Why This Uses Friday's Data
