About MCX
Gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas and base metal futures in India trade on MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited), the country's largest commodity derivatives exchange, based at Exchange Square in Andheri East, Mumbai.
Traders do not log in to MCX itself. Orders go through a broker's app, and MCX runs the trading platform behind it in a morning session and an evening session that closes near midnight. When the exchange has trouble, every broker's commodity segment is hit together.
26-day history
We checked 26 times over the last 26 days — healthy on 26 days. It typically responds in about 0.1s.
Dashed line is its usual 0.1s, measured over the last 14 days. Gaps are days with no timing data.

Questions
Check the status card on this page and the reports from traders. If people on many brokers report frozen prices or rejected orders together, MCX itself has a problem. If only your broker's app fails while others trade, the fault is with the broker.
First check the time and date. MCX trades in a morning and an evening session, and on some holidays only one session opens. Outside those hours, orders are rejected even though nothing is broken. If it is a trading hour and prices are not moving across brokers, that points to a problem at the exchange.
MCX me do session chalte hain: subah 9 baje se shaam 5 baje tak, aur shaam 5 baje se raat 11.30 ya 11.55 tak. Raat ka closing time commodity ke hisaab se badalta hai. Chhutti wale din kabhi sirf ek session khulta hai.
Check MCX's Trading Holidays page. In 2026, both sessions stay shut on 2 October and 25 December. On many other holidays, such as Dussehra on 20 October and Guru Nanak Jayanti on 24 November, the morning session is shut but the evening session opens. Muhurat trading is on Sunday, 8 November 2026.
Ask your broker to activate the commodity segment on your account. Without it, MCX contracts do not appear or cannot be traded. If the segment is active and only MCX prices are blank, check this page for an exchange-side issue.
Open Market Watch on mcxindia.com. It shows contract-wise prices from the exchange, so you can tell whether the market is moving while your app is frozen.
