    Hindustan Zinc shares soar 17% in 4 days, tracking silver’s surge to record highs



    [

    Shares of Hindustan Zinc have rallied sharply, rising 16.8% over the past four sessions to their high of Rs 546.95 on the BSE, buoyed by the ongoing rally in silver prices, which recently touched fresh lifetime highs in the domestic market.

    The surge comes as silver continues to attract investor interest as both an industrial and safe-haven asset.

    Hindustan Zinc, which is the world’s third-largest silver producer, has emerged as a key beneficiary of this rally.

    On Tuesday, silver July futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) hit a new all-time high of Rs 1,07,171 per kg, before settling at Rs 1,07,087 per kg with a 1.54% gain.

    The strong uptrend in silver has been supported by a weakening US dollar, firmness in other industrial metals, and increased demand for safe-haven assets amid geopolitical uncertainties.


    Silver prices have remained volatile but elevated, with analysts citing a mix of macroeconomic drivers. “We expect gold and silver prices to remain volatile this week amid fluctuations in the dollar index, geopolitical tensions, and ahead of U.S. inflation data. Silver could hold above the $34 per troy ounce level on a weekly closing basis,” said Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research.Hindustan Zinc’s strong correlation with global silver prices, given its significant contribution to global silver production, has turned investor attention toward the stock.
