MCX Delay in Trade Files Causes Commodity Position Display Issues for Traders
On September 17, 2026, a delay in the Multi Commodity Exchange of India's (MCX) end-of-day trade files caused some brokers, including Zerodha, to display incorrect or missing average prices for commodity positions like gold, silver, and crude oil. Traders reported difficulties viewing and settling positions, prompting complaints on social media. MCX acknowledged the delay in sending trade files from its clearing corporation but stated that all other operations, including trading and settlement, proceeded normally. Brokers and MCX are working to resolve the issue promptly.
