As of 10:46 AM, MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) trading remains halted due to persistent technical issues. The exchange had earlier scheduled trading restarts at 9:30 AM, 10:00 AM, and then 10:30 AM, but operations are still not live.
According to the latest broker notifications, including one from Upstox, traders have been advised to shift to NSE’s commodity segment temporarily. The alert read:
“MCX trading has been halted due to an intermittent issue at the exchange. Trade on NSE instead.”
What traders can do now
- Switch to NSE Commodity Segment:
NSE allows trading in key commodities like gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas, copper, and zinc. Traders can use NSE’s platform through their broker terminals or apps to continue transactions. - Monitor MCX official website:
The MCX website has confirmed delays multiple times, citing “technical issues.” The latest update at 10:11 AM stated that trading would begin at 10:30 AM from the Disaster Recovery (DR) system, though this too has not materialized yet. - Stay alert for updates:
Market participants and brokers are awaiting a formal confirmation from MCX on when live trading will resume.
This marks continuous days of disruptions on MCX, sparking criticism among traders who note that no other global commodity exchange faces such frequent operational issues, especially on monthly expiry day.
