MCX Timings 2025
The Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) operates in two sessions each day: the morning session and the evening session. In 2025, the morning session is scheduled from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while the evening session generally runs from 5:00 PM to 11:30 PM. However, during the U.S. daylight saving period, the evening session is extended up to 11:55 PM. These trading windows vary depending on the type of commodity.
Traders must be aware of the specific market hours applicable to the category of commodities they trade in, as timings differ for regular agri-products, globally benchmarked agri-commodities, and non-agricultural commodities. Here's a breakdown of MCX trading hours by commodity type:
Commodity Category | MCX Trading Timings |
---|
Regular Agricultural Commodities | 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM |
Internationally Referenced Agri-Commodities | 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM |
Non-Agricultural Commodities | 9:00 AM to 11:30 PM (with DST)
9:00 AM to 11:55 PM (without DST) |
Understanding the official MCX timings helps traders plan entries and exits with precision, especially when market volatility peaks around global cues.
