Why did the Vedanta share price fall and then recover today?

A global precious-metals slump hit sentiment at the open, driving fast selling across metals. As the futures tone stabilized and short covering began, buyers returned. Stronger Q3 signals and active demerger expectations also helped confidence, allowing the stock to retrace a good part of the intraday losses.

What key levels should traders track for VEDL.NS now?

Immediate support is ₹675, then ₹650. Resistance sits near ₹755 and ₹770, the 52-week high area. The 50-DMA at ₹596.65 is the medium-term guardrail. A strong close above ₹755 would signal renewed momentum, while sustained closes below ₹650 would weaken the near-term setup.

How did Hindustan Zinc move and why does it matter to Vedanta?

Hindustan Zinc dropped about 12% intraday to ₹622.35 before paring losses. Its price affects group cash flows and market sentiment for the parent. Stabilization around the 50-DMA ₹590.63 would be supportive for Vedanta, especially amid the ongoing demerger planning and focus on dividends.

What fundamentals should investors watch after Q3?

Focus on margins in aluminum, volumes, and any updates on the Vedanta demerger. Track leverage closely: debt to equity of 2.57x, net debt to EBITDA of 2.40x, and interest coverage of 6.0x. Dividend visibility matters too, with a TTM payout of ₹23 per share and a 3.37% yield.
