Spot silver traded around $79 per ounce during the session after a steep sell-off. The white metal had rallied close to the $90 mark on 13 May 2026 before retreating sharply due to profit booking. Gold prices also remained under pressure, with spot gold falling 1.65% to $4,574.10 per ounce, its lowest level in nearly a week. Precious metals weakened after stronger-than-expected US inflation data heightened expectations that interest rates could remain elevated for longer. US wholesale inflation recorded its fastest rise since 2022 in April, while consumer inflation saw its sharpest increase since 2023. The higher inflation readings strengthened the US dollar and pushed benchmark 10-year Treasury yields near one-year highs, reducing the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold and silver. Silver prices were further impacted by profit taking after the recent rally, which had been driven by speculative interest in industrial metals and expectations of tighter supply conditions. Investor sentiment also remained cautious amid continuing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which kept crude oil prices elevated. Concerns over disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy shipping route, added to fears of persistent energy inflation. Elevated crude oil prices could sustain inflationary pressures globally and increase the likelihood of tighter monetary policy, weighing further on precious metals. Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta Group company, is the world's largest integrated zinc producer and among the top 10 silver producers globally. The company exports to over 40 countries and holds around 74% share of India's primary zinc market.

On a sequential basis, net profit rose 28.52% from Rs 3,916 crore in Q3 FY26. Revenue from operations increased 49% YoY and 23% QoQ to Rs 13,544 crore in Q4 FY26, driven by higher zinc and silver prices, increased production, lead concentrate sales, better by-product realisations and a stronger dollar.

Hindustan Zinc has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Group Nirmal to set up a zinc wire manufacturing facility at the company's flagship Zinc Industrial Park at Khankhala, Bhilwara district of Rajasthan. The collaboration further strengthens Hindustan Zinc's long-term vision of building a robust downstream zinc manufacturing ecosystem in India focused on high-value industrial applications. Under the agreement, Group Nirmal will manufacture zinc wire products using Hindustan Zinc's Special High Grade (SHG) zinc, catering to sectors such as infrastructure, renewable energy, automotive and industrial engineering. Zinc wire is a critical input for thermal spray coating and metallizing processes, where it is melted and sprayed onto steel surfaces to form a protective zinc coating. This process provides durable anti-corrosion protection to steel structures and critical assets including bridges, transmission towers, railways, ports, pipelines and industrial installations exposed to aggressive environmental conditions. These coatings significantly enhance structural longevity, improve operational reliability and reduce lifecycle maintenance requirements, making them an increasingly preferred solution for sustainable infrastructure protection.
