STARTRADER has launched XAUUSD247, a gold CFD that provides quotes throughout the week, including weekends and overnight hours when the traditional gold market is closed.
The instrument went live on MetaTrader 5 on 21 August 2026, with availability on Web and app platforms to follow in early September. Access depends on account type, client classification and jurisdiction, and the instrument is not available to clients in all countries.
XAUUSD247 sits alongside the existing XAUUSD, which remains available on unchanged terms.
Gold responds to geopolitical developments, central bank decisions and shifts in risk sentiment that do not follow a five-day trading week. The new instrument is designed to provide quoted pricing during periods when the traditional market is closed, subject to scheduled maintenance windows.

Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER said:
"Gold is one of the most event-sensitive instruments on the market. Developments that move it do not wait for Monday. XAUUSD247 provides quoted pricing during these periods, including when the traditional market is closed."
The launch forms part of STARTRADER's broader 24/7 product direction, extending access beyond standard market hours where the product structure allows.
XAUUSD247 extends that approach to commodities.
STARTRADER expects to explore continuous access across other asset classes where client activity and market-moving developments are least aligned with standard trading hours.
