Multi-asset broker ACY Securities has expanded its precious metals suite with the launch of three new gold trading symbols tailored to regional conventions and currencies — GAUCNH (CNH/grams), GAUUSD (USD/grams), and LAUHKD (HKD/taels).
These additions are designed to make gold trading more intuitive for clients across Mainland China, India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Hong Kong by matching local trading units and margin currencies.
Built for Regional Relevance
- GAUCNH (CNH / grams): Aligns with trading practices on Mainland China exchanges, allowing clients to trade gold in grams and margin in CNH.
- GAUUSD (USD / grams): Targets markets such as India, Thailand, the Middle East, LATAM, and Africa, where grams are the preferred unit and USD is the settlement currency.
- LAUHKD (HKD / taels): Matches Hong Kong and Macau’s tael-based trading conventions, also recognised in Taiwan, with HKD as the margin currency.
Product Specifications Summary
| Symbol | Margin Currency | Unit | Contract Size | Min Trade | Max Trade | Lot Increment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GAUCNH | CNH | grams | 1,000 grams | 0.01 lot (10 g) | 30 lots | 0.01 |
| GAUUSD | USD | grams | 1,000 grams | 0.01 lot (10 g) | 30 lots | 0.01 |
| LAUHKD | HKD | taels | 100 taels | 0.01 lot (1 tael) | 30 lots | 0.01 |
Tael reference:
China = 1 tael = 50 g | Hong Kong/Macau = 1 tael = 37.79 g | Taiwan = 1 tael = 37.50 g
Expanding an Already Comprehensive Gold Line-Up
ACY Securities’ existing gold offering spans multiple regional pairings, including:
XAUUSD, XAUAUD, XAUEUR, XAUGBP, XAUSGD, XAUTHB, and XAUTRY — all available across MT4, MT5, and the proprietary ACY Trading Platform.
“Gold has been one of the most dynamic markets of 2025, setting multiple all-time highs and rising as much as 67% since the start of the year,” said an ACY Securities spokesperson.
“With demand surging globally, our new regional gold pairs ensure traders can access the market in the units and currencies most familiar to them.”
A Strong Year for Gold Traders
ACY Securities noted that its community of copy traders has also benefited from the metal’s strong performance, with top signals in its Tradingcup leaderboard driven by gold-based strategies.
