Vantage Markets, a multi-asset CFD broker, has announced the launch of XAUUSD247, a new Gold CFD product that gives eligible clients access to gold trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends.

Available through MT5, TradingView and the Vantage App, the product provides eligible clients with the ability to access and manage Gold CFD positions beyond conventional weekday trading hours.

The launch comes as traditional market structures increasingly move toward broader trading access. CME Group recently announced plans to expand trading of certain gold futures products to 24/7, subject to regulatory review. XAUUSD247 is a separate OTC CFD product offered by Vantage.

Geopolitical developments, monetary-policy announcements and unexpected economic events do not always occur during established trading sessions. When significant news breaks over a weekend, gold market sentiment may shift before conventional markets reopen.

Marc Despallieres, Chief Executive Officer at Vantage said,

“Global markets increasingly react in real time, while access to many traditional products remains tied to the five-day trading week. XAUUSD247 provides eligible clients with access gold CFDs beyond standard market hours, supported by transparent product mechanics and clearly defined trading controls.”

Extending access to gold CFD beyond the traditional week

XAUUSD247 is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays, subject to scheduled platform maintenance and regional availability.

The product uses a one-ounce contract size, compared with the 100-ounce contract size of Vantage’s traditional XAUUSD product. This smaller contract size is designed to provide eligible clients with greater flexibility when managing their gold exposure.

Key XAUUSD247 features include:

• 24/7 gold CFD access, including Saturdays and Sundays
• No separate trading commission applies, although spreads, financing charges and other applicable costs may apply
• One-ounce contract size
• Tiered leverage of up to 100× may be available, subject to position size, account type and applicable trading conditions
• One-sided margin calculation for eligible accounts holding both long and short positions
• Account-level exposure controls
• Access through MT5, TradingView and the Vantage App

Under the product’s one-sided margin structure, margin for eligible accounts holding both long and short positions is calculated according to the larger side of the exposure, rather than both sides separately, subject to applicable product rules. This structure is designed to support more efficient use of margin when managing opposing positions.

XAUUSD247 also incorporates net and gross exposure limits at account level as part of its risk management framework. When the applicable exposure threshold is reached, accounts enter close-only mode until exposure returns below the relevant limit.

Applicable spreads, financing charges, leverage, exposure limits and other trading conditions may vary depending on the client’s account type, region and applicable Vantage entity. Clients should refer to the product specifications displayed on the relevant trading platform before trading.

Continuous access requires robust risk controls

Wider market access should not be viewed simply as an extension of trading hours. Liquidity, pricing, volatility and execution conditions may differ outside conventional market sessions, particularly during weekends or periods of lower market participation.

“Greater market access should be accompanied by transparency and effective risk management,” added Despallieres. “While markets increasingly respond to events around the clock, traders should carefully consider the product structure, leverage, applicable trading costs and risks before opening or maintaining positions.”

The launch of XAUUSD247 reflects Vantage’s continued investment in expanding market access while maintaining a strong focus on product transparency, trading controls and responsible risk management.
