Nifty Metal slips 5% in September post 29% 1 yr rally, October comeback ahead? Hindustan Zinc, NMDC, NALCO may shine | Stock Market News
Nifty Metal fell nearly 5% in September, after a strong yearly rally, with NALCO, Vedanta and NMDC among the top laggards. Experts expect October to be stock-specific rather than a broad sector rally. Aluminium and copper-linked businesses may do better, and Hindustan Zinc, NMDC and NALCO look reasonably valued. So avoid chasing momentum and buy only on sharp corrections.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Nifty Metal declined nearly 5% over the past month, with NALCO, NMDC, Hindustan Copper, Adani Enterprises and Vedanta among the top laggards.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you hold metal stocks, avoid chasing the rally. Check each company's debt, production cost, capacity utilisation and cash flows, and buy only on sharp corrections. Remember that October's direction depends on global metal prices, Chinese demand and domestic growth, so gains are not assured.
