Hindustan Zinc shares rose more than 3% in a single session, hitting a one-week high and adding about Rs 6,815 crore to the company’s market value. The move came as the dollar index fell 0.6% for the week, its biggest weekly drop since early April, helping lift MCX silver futures for September by over 2% to Rs 2.38 lakh per kg. The company also issued an FY27 Q1 business update, with refined zinc output up 6% year-on-year to 213 kt while silver output slipped 0.4%. Hindustan Zinc is India’s largest zinc producer, accounting for nearly 80% of the country’s primary zinc output, and is among the world’s top 10 silver producers.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 added 1.2%, while S&P 500 e-mini futures gained 0.4%. The gains followed a weaker-than-expected U.S. nonfarm payrolls report that eased the perceived urgency for further Federal Reserve rate hikes, lifting risk sentiment.

India’s oil minister Hardeep Singh Puri said state-run fuel retailers booked ₹74,781 crore in retail losses in Q1 as they continued to sell fuel made from higher-cost crude bought earlier. Brent was trading near $70 a barrel on Thursday, down 26% in a month and nearly 40% below its April high, but Puri gave no clear signal of an immediate retail price cut. He said a reduction is possible if crude prices remain steady for a while, according to Reuters. Puri also said no Indian refiner had directly exported petrol to Russia, though traders may have shipped Indian-made fuel there.
