MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd.) is India’s largest commodity derivatives exchange, where traders and investors can buy and sell futures and options contracts of commodities like gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas, and base metals. MCX Trading is derivatives trading in commodities, where you speculate or hedge on price movements of metals, energy, and agri products. It works like the stock market, but the underlying asset is a commodity instead of a share. In short, MCX = Commodity trading exchange, just like NSE/BSE = Stock trading exchange.

*Values shown are purely indicative. Current market prices will apply during trading.
Traders only pay a margin (5–15%) of the total contract value, which allows higher exposure with less capital.
Producers, importers, exporters, and jewelers hedge against price volatility. Example: A jeweler locks gold prices in futures to avoid losses from price spikes.
Stocks and commodities often move differently. Adding commodities (gold, crude, metals) to your portfolio reduces overall risk.
MCX offers monthly, weekly, and bi-weekly contracts depending on the commodity. Provides flexibility in trading strategy and investment horizon.
