Hindustan Copper rallied over 17% as prices of Copper zoomed to a record high.

| Vedanta | 8% |

| Hindustan Zinc | 4% |
In the commodity space, copper prices have hit a high of $9000 as supply side concerns surface.
Also, iron prices inched higher to near 10-year high as China returned after the Lunar New Year. "We expect China to open up on a positive note post-CNY as a major positive. HRC and rebar prices in China surged 6 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively, while Dalian iron ore futures index shot up 6 per cent amid better demand prospects. All in all, we remain positive on the ferrous space," said analysts at Edelweiss Securities.
