Common questions
- What is the difference between the global commodity price and the MCX price?
- The global benchmarks are the international reference contracts, quoted in their home currency and unit — gold, silver and platinum per troy ounce in US dollars, crude per barrel, the LME base metals per tonne, and copper per pound, because the benchmark copper price is the COMEX contract rather than an LME one. MCX contracts are rupee-denominated futures settled in India, quoted per 10 grams for gold, per kilogram for silver and copper, per barrel for crude and per mmBtu for natural gas. An Indian price therefore embeds the rupee exchange rate, import duty and local premium as well as the world price, which is why the two do not move by identical percentages on the same day.
- What does "front-month" mean on an MCX contract?
- MCX lists several expiries of the same commodity at once. The front-month contract is the nearest expiry still actively traded, and it is the one carrying the volume and open interest, so it is the price quoted when someone says "MCX gold". As an expiry approaches, liquidity rolls to the next contract, which is why the expiry date is printed beside every row below.
- How current are the prices on this page?
- The tables at the top of this page are live — global benchmarks stream tick by tick and MCX quotes are polled every minute while the market is open. The tables in this section are a fixed snapshot taken at 25 Aug 2026, 20:34 IST and do not change until the site is rebuilt, which is why every one of them is labelled with that timestamp.
