MCX heatmap FAQs
What is an MCX heatmap?
An MCX heatmap is a colour-coded grid of MCX commodity contracts. Each cell shows the percentage change of a contract over one timeframe, so you can see which commodities are rising or falling and how widely the move is shared.
Which commodities does the MCX heatmap cover?
It covers Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Gold and Silver, plus the Crude Oil, Gold and Silver mini contracts. Each is shown across timeframes from 5 minutes to 1 week.
How do I read the commodity heat map colours?
Green cells show a price rise over the selected timeframe and red cells a fall, with a deeper shade for a larger move. Compare a contract across timeframes to check whether a short-term move agrees with the longer trend.
How often does the commodity heatmap refresh?
Switch on live updates and the heatmap refreshes every 2 minutes while the MCX session is open. Outside trading hours it shows the latest available snapshot. Open any cell to see its price, reference price and observation time.
Why check commodities separately from equities?
Commodity prices respond to global demand, the dollar, inventories and geopolitics rather than to Indian equity flows. A dedicated map makes divergences visible, such as crude rising while equities rally.

Commodity heatmap for MCX
The Commodity Heatmap compares price performance across the available MCX contracts and timeframes. It helps examine whether moves are shared across metals, energy and other commodity groups or concentrated in a few contracts.
Check contract expiry, session time and quote freshness before comparing cells. Commodity moves may reflect global prices, currency changes, inventory reports and different trading hours. Similar heatmap colours do not establish a common cause, while a one-session move can differ from the longer-term trend.
