Hindustan Copper, Hind Zinc Lead Metal Stocks Up 8% on China Policy, Weak Dollar, Fed Cut

• Metal stocks surged up to 8% on December 12, driven by China's 'proactive' fiscal policy, a weaker dollar, and a US Fed rate cut.
• The Nifty Metal index rose nearly 3%, becoming the top-gaining sector and nearing its 52-week high.
• China's commitment to "proactive" fiscal policy is expected to stimulate consumption and investment, boosting metal demand and pricing.
• A weaker US dollar and the Fed's third consecutive rate cut (25 bps) reduce borrowing costs for foreign investors, encouraging investment in Indian markets.
• Hindustan Copper and Hindustan Zinc were among the top gainers, surging over 8% and 6% respectively, with other major metal companies also seeing significant gains.
