MCX Technical Glitch Alters Schedule: Commodity Markets to Open at 10 AM today

The standard trading hours on weekdays, from Monday to Friday, are 9:00 AM to 11:30 PM, as indicated on the website. However, today, there is a discrepancy in the trading timing due to a technical issue, causing inconvenience for investors and traders who are unable to access the platform properly.

In response to the technical snag, the MCX team is actively working to identify and resolve the main error. They have provided a tentative duration for resolving the issue, with the platform expected to resume operations at 10 AM, which is one hour past the normal trading session.
