ACY Securities, a leading global multi-asset CFD broker, today announced the launch of three new gold symbols designed to match regional trading conventions beyond troy ounces. The additions, GAUCNH (CNH/grams), GAUUSD (USD/grams) and LAUHKD (HKD/taels), give clients in key markets a more intuitive way to trade gold in their local units and margin currencies.
Built for regional relevance:
- GAUCNH (CNH / grams): Aligns with how gold is commonly traded on Mainland China exchanges, letting clients margin in CNH and trade in grams.
- GAUUSD (USD / grams): Suits markets where grams are the dominant measure, including India, Thailand, the Middle East, LATAM and Africa, while settling in USD.
- LAUHKD (HKD / taels): Tailored for Hong Kong and Macau and recognised in Taiwan, matching local tael-based conventions with HKD margining.
Jimmy Ye, CEO and Co-Founder of ACY Securities, said:
“Clients want products that feel native to how they trade. By introducing gold contracts in grams and taels with local margin currencies, we’re removing friction, improving price clarity and opening our precious-metals suite to more traders worldwide. This is a client-first upgrade that supports our partners in China, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, LATAM and Africa, and it reflects our ongoing focus on technology, liquidity and performance.”
