Commodity Market Prediction for Monday, 28 September 2026

Today's session points to a mixed outlook after a session shaped mostly by a continued relief rally on 25 September 2026. The Nifty Commodities index, a broad gauge of commodity-linked equities, gained 0.26 percent to close at 9,540.75, with gold and silver both rallying while crude oil and natural gas reversed sharply lower.

Ankit Jaiswal and Kunal Singla at Univest note that the outlook for Monday hinges on whether crude oil's sharp pullback extends into next week or proves to be a single-day reversal, since that same pressure had been weighing on broader equity markets earlier this week.

Key Drivers for the Commodity Market Monday

• Crude oil fell sharply, down 2.79 percent on mcx, reversing thursday's spike as the risk premium tied to earlier geopolitical tensions unwound.
• India vix eased 4.18 percent to a calmer 12.16, its second straight session of easing after thursday's sharp spike, with nifty auto leading equity gains even as crude oil and natural gas both reversed sharply lower.
• Gold and silver both rallied even as broader equity markets recovered, an unusual pairing that suggests some investors are still hedging despite the improved mood.

Stocks to Watch Alongside the Commodity Market

Reliance Industries remains the most direct equity proxy for crude oil price swings, given its refining and petrochemicals operations, and gained 0.56 percent today as easing crude prices reduced input-cost pressure on its refining business. On the metals side, Nifty Metal gained 0.35 percent on 25 September 2026, broadly steady alongside the relatively flat copper and zinc prices on MCX.

Traders relying on this commodity market prediction for monday should still size positions to their own risk appetite.
