Non-ferrous metal stocks are seen gaining next week but stocks of ferrous metal companies are likely to be down or subdued. For the long term, we prefer Hindustan Zinc and NMDC. NMDC's valuations remain attractive when compared to global peers. We have retained an overweight rating on NMDC as we believe that the price difference between Indian and international ore prices will narrow only in the long run.

If the Dec 3 meeting does not take a decision on divestment of government stake in Hindustan Zing
