How to Read MCX Gold
MCX Gold follows the international dollar benchmark converted through USD/INR, so a weakening rupee can lift the MCX price even when the global price is flat. Compare the domestic move with the international quote to separate currency effects from commodity moves. The evening session reaction to US data is often the day's most active window.
