Quick answer: The October 2026 monthly settlement and the Q3 (October–December) quarterly settlement of broker running accounts fall on Friday 16 and/or Saturday 17 October 2026 .

MCX Holidays 2026: Month-Wise List, Timings & When Evening Session Reopens

Is MCX open today? MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) trades commodities like gold, silver, crude oil and natural gas across two sessions every trading day: a morning session from 9:00 AM and an evening session from 5:00 PM to 11:30 PM or 11:55 PM IST (the later close applies outside US daylight-saving months, roughly November to March).
