Why COMEX and MCX can differ

COMEX gold is generally read as a global dollar reference, while MCX gold is an India exchange context in rupees. The two markets are connected through global spot, USD/INR, contract specifications, taxes, premiums, and settlement timing.

Even when global gold is flat, a weaker rupee can lift India gold prices. When the rupee strengthens, India prices may soften even if dollar gold is steady. Duty, GST, liquidity, and local premiums can add further differences.
