MCX Event Calendar
Scheduled macro and data-release events mapped to the MCX contracts they typically move — with prior actuals and historical context where available.
Statistical information, not a trading recommendation.
Last trading day for the current MCX Crude Oil futures contract — crude expires ahead of the physical delivery month and rolls monthly, more frequently than metals.
Last trading day for the current MCX Natural Gas futures contract — this contract rolls monthly, aligned closely with the Henry Hub futures calendar.
The Fed's rate decision and forward guidance move US real yields and the dollar — the dominant macro driver for MCX Gold and Silver, with secondary effects on Copper and Crude via broad risk appetite.
China's official manufacturing PMI is a headline read on industrial demand — the single largest external demand signal for base metals (Copper, Aluminium, Zinc) given China's share of global consumption.
Last trading day for the current MCX Copper futures contract before rollover to the next contract month.
Last trading day for the current MCX Zinc futures contract before rollover to the next contract month.
Last trading day for the current MCX Lead futures contract before rollover to the next contract month.
Last trading day for the current MCX Aluminium futures contract before rollover to the next contract month.
Caixin's PMI skews toward smaller/export-facing manufacturers, complementing the official NBS PMI — divergence between the two is itself a watched signal for base-metals demand momentum.
OPEC+ production-quota decisions directly set the supply backdrop for Brent/WTI, which MCX Crude tracks via USD/INR — historically the single largest scheduled (non-geopolitical-shock) driver of crude volatility.
Last trading day for the current MCX Gold futures contract — open positions must be closed or rolled to the next contract before expiry; liquidity and spreads can widen in the final sessions.
RBI's repo-rate decision and INR-management stance directly move USD/INR — since every MCX contract is INR-denominated, a rupee move around an MPC decision shows up mechanically across all 9 commodities even without any change in the underlying USD/international price. High-priority for an India-focused platform: this is one of the few events that moves every MCX contract at once, not just one commodity's benchmark.
The monthly US jobs report is a key Fed-policy input — a labor market that cools faster than expected raises rate-cut odds, typically supportive for gold via lower real yields.
Malaysia's monthly palm oil stock/production/export data is the primary benchmark for the vegetable-oil complex globally, with a secondary read-through to India's edible-oil import economics.
India's retail inflation print shapes RBI policy expectations and rupee sentiment — MCX Gold, quoted in INR, carries a currency-translation sensitivity to India-specific macro data on top of USD-gold moves.
USDA's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates cover cotton and the broader vegetable-oil complex, with indirect linkage to CPO/edible-oil pricing dynamics tracked in India's agri-commodity space.
Wholesale price data offers a secondary, producer-side read on Indian inflation, complementing CPI in shaping RBI's policy stance and, in turn, INR direction.
Last trading day for the current MCX Silver futures contract before rollover to the next contract month.
India's annual Union Budget (presented 1 February, 11:00 AM IST) is where the government sets customs duty on gold and silver imports — the single largest discrete lever on MCX Gold and Silver pricing outside of global COMEX moves; each 1 percentage-point duty change has historically shifted MCX gold by roughly ₹1,000/10g overnight. Crude-linked windfall/export levies on fuel have also been announced at Budget in past years.
