MCX gold order flow: the global gold order book, live
MCX gold moves with the international gold price in dollars (XAUUSD), plus the rupee and import duty. Most MCX trading screens show the best five bids and offers. Here you see the full order book of the gold perpetual (XAU), a 24/7 market that tracks the same international gold price, with the biggest buyers and sellers marked. Free, no sign-up, every time in IST.
Information only. The gold perpetual (XAU) is a commodity derivative on an overseas exchange and may not be available to residents of India; in India, commodity derivatives trade on recognized exchanges such as MCX.
Why MCX traders watch the global book
Same price, bigger market. MCX gold follows the international gold price. When a large wall in the global book holds, gets pulled or gets eaten, XAUUSD moves, and MCX gold moves with it through the rupee rate.
Depth beyond five levels. The global book shows every resting order within 3 % of the price, so you see the walls well above and below, not just the top of the book.
The busy hours. The LBMA gold auctions run at 10:30 and 15:00 London (16:00 and 20:30 IST in winter, an hour earlier in summer) and COMEX gold opens at 08:20 New York (18:50 IST in winter, 17:50 IST in summer).
