Commodity Market Prediction for Tomorrow 26 Aug 2026

The MCX commodity forecast, 26 August 2026, reflects a divergent Tuesday MCX session. Energy commodities led declines while base metals provided positive inputs. MCX Crude Oil fell Rs 251 or 3.08 percent to Rs 7,888 per barrel on Brent crude weakness, and MCX Natural Gas lost 1.54 percent to Rs 262.20. Gold edged lower by 0.10 percent to Rs 1,61,826, and Silver fell 0.56 percent to Rs 2,43,756. On the positive side, Zinc gained 1.23 percent and Copper added 0.21 percent on LME strength.

Ankit Jaiswal, equity research analyst at Univest, notes that the commodity Wednesday forecast is influenced by a positive broader Indian equity backdrop. Nifty 50 closed at its intraday high of 24,334.55 on Tuesday and VIX fell to 11.03. The post-expiry calm on Wednesday removes equity cross-asset pressure, allowing the tomorrow’s commodity outlook to be driven more cleanly by global commodity fundamentals.
