Across the full commodity complex covered at Monday’s open — spanning precious metals, energy, base metals, and grains — not a single contract posted a gain or a loss. Every instrument in the data set opened precisely flat, with price changes of $0.00 or USX 0.00 and percentage moves of 0.00% recorded uniformly across the board. The opening snapshot therefore reflected a state of complete stillness across the monitored commodity universe as Indian markets commenced the Monday session.
