Hindustan Zinc, a prominent player in the non-ferrous metal industry, experienced a decline of 3.4% on April 25, 2025. This drop follows two consecutive days of gains, indicating a potential trend reversal. The stock reached an intraday low of Rs 446.8, reflecting a decrease of 2.72% during the trading session.
In terms of moving averages, Hindustan Zinc's stock is currently above its 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day moving averages, yet it remains below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. This positioning suggests mixed signals regarding its short-term performance relative to longer-term trends.
