In the latest trading session, while the frontline indices ended with mixed results, the Nifty Metal Index emerged as the star performer. Metal stocks such as Hindustan Zinc, Hindalco, Hind Copper, and Vedanta captured significant attention as copper prices soared towards record highs. This surge was driven by the Chinese government’s decision to purchase unsold housing inventory to prevent defaults among distressed developers.
On Tuesday, Hindustan Zinc reached its upper circuit limit of 20% amidst the ongoing metal rally. However, effective May 22, the BSE exchange revised Hindustan Zinc’s circuit limit from 20% to 10%. This adjustment came as a response to the significant movements in the stock.
Several other stocks also saw changes in their circuit limits. These include Bharat Bijlee, Elixir Capital, and others, reflecting the dynamic nature of the market.
3 stocks had their circuit limits reduced from 20% to 10%:
