MCX Trading Halted by Technical Glitch; Operations Delayed
Imagine a big online store where people buy and sell things like gold or oil.
This store, called MCX, had a computer problem.
Because of the problem, the store couldn't open on time.
It was supposed to open at 9 am, but it didn't start working properly until about 10:30 am.
The store said it was having trouble with its computers and sharing information.
While the store was down, people could still try to buy and sell things at a different place called NSE Commodity.
Trading on MCX, a commodity derivatives exchange, was halted due to a technical glitch.
The market was initially expected to resume by 9:45 am but eventually opened around 10:30 am.
MCX cited delays in clearing technical processes and file sharing as the cause.
The exchange did not disclose the specific reason for the disruption.
Zerodha advised placing orders in the NSE Commodity segment during the outage.
