Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The commodity info widget on Kite is a marketwatch surface for the MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) segment. It renders live quotes, lot sizes, and contract month conventions for the gold, silver, base metals, energy, and agri commodity contracts traded on MCX, alongside the equity marketwatch.

For each commodity contract added to the marketwatch, the widget surfaces:

LTP: Live traded price during MCX session hours (09:00 to 23:30 IST).
Change: Absolute and percentage change from previous close.
Volume: Total contracts traded today.
Open interest (OI): Open contracts at the end of the previous trading day (refreshes overnight).
Lot size: Contracts standardised by MCX (e.g., gold = 1 kg, gold mini = 100 g, gold petal = 1 g).
Tick size: Minimum price movement.
