Commodity trading involves buying and selling raw materials or primary agricultural products through futures contracts on regulated exchanges. In India, commodities are traded on MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) for metals and energy — including Gold, Silver, Copper, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas — and on NCDEX (National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange) for agricultural products like Wheat, Soybean, Cotton, and Castor seed. Commodity markets provide both investment opportunities and risk hedging for businesses.
Your Motilal Oswal account can be activated for MCX and NCDEX trading by submitting a simple request. Usually done same day.
Select from metals (Gold, Silver, Copper), energy (Crude Oil, Natural Gas), or agri (Soya, Wheat, Cotton) based on your expertise.
Gold (MCX) lot = 1 Kg. Silver = 30 Kg. Crude = 100 Barrels. Margins are 4-10% of contract value for most commodities.
Trade during MCX trading hours (9:00 AM – 11:30 PM on weekdays) or NCDEX hours. Commodity markets have extended hours vs equity.
Most retail traders square off before expiry. Physical delivery is also possible for gold, silver, and agri commodities.
