MCX Bullion (Gold & Silver) — Research Calls

Gold & silver futures research driven by global macro — with the late-session discipline bullion demands.

What the research covers

Directional calls on Gold and Silver futures (including the mini contracts) with entry, target and stop-loss, framed by the global drivers that actually move bullion — COMEX, the US dollar and real yields — with attention to the evening session when US data lands.

Trading session

MCX trades 9:00 AM to 11:30 PM IST while the US is on daylight-saving time (about mid-March to early November) and until 11:55 PM IST otherwise; MCX announces each switch by circular. Gold and silver react through the evening to US data releases and Fed commentary.

Who this segment suits

Traders who track global macro and can stay engaged into the evening session, and those using bullion as a portfolio hedge. Mini contracts let smaller accounts participate.

What makes MCX Bullion risk distinct

Bullion gaps on global cues while Indian markets are closed, and it is highly sensitive to the dollar and US yields — a Fed comment or US jobs print can move it hard during the thinner evening session. Leverage applies as with any futures contract.

What actually moves MCX Bullion

  • COMEX gold/silver and global risk sentiment
  • US dollar index (DXY) and US real yields
  • Fed policy, US CPI and jobs data
  • Geopolitical risk and safe-haven demand

Common mistakes in MCX Bullion

  • Trading into US data/Fed timing without a plan for the spike
  • Holding through global events with no stop while Indian screens are quiet
  • Ignoring the DXY / yields correlation that drives the move
  • Over-sizing in the thinner late-evening session
