Short-covering by speculators driven by firm demand in the spot markets also influenced zinc prices at the futures market.
At the MCX, zinc for delivery in November month contract traded 0.58 per cent higher at Rs 103.65 per kg in a turnover of 512 lots.
The metal for delivery in December month contract moved up 0.53 per cent to Rs 104 per kg clocking a turnover of 31 lots.
Market analysts said a firming trend at the London Metal Exchange and firm domestic demand in the spot markets attributed to the rise in zinc prices at the futures market but gains were capped on weak US housing data.
Meanwhile, at the LME, zinc gained 0.09 per cent at $2,250 per tonne in yesterday's trade.
