The daily returns, day-of the week effect and volatility test are analyzed by using mean, median, standard deviation, kurtosis and skewness, the validity of the results are checked through Kruskal-Wallis Test. Barletts homogeneity is adopted to test the equally of variance in addition with Levenes Test. Percentage analysis is used to measure the price level changes in the commodity prices in MCX.
