Zinc, lead rise in a listless trade

Zinc and lead prices rose further in an otherwise listless non-ferrous metals market here today on stockists' buying amid mild demand from consumer industries.

While select copper and brass sheet cutting slipped due to subdued offtake from industrial users.

Zinc rose by Rs 2 per kg to Rs 216 from Wednesday's closing level of Rs 214.

Lead edged-up by a rupee per kg to Rs 159.

However, copper utensils scrap fell by Rs 3 to Rs 418 per kg from Rs 421.

Brass sheet cutting moved down by Rs 2 to Rs 351 per kg as against Rs 353, yesterday.

Copper armature and copper sheet cuttings softened by a rupee per kg each to Rs 447 and Rs 444, respectively.
