New GOLD247 instrument enables eligible clients to trade gold on weekends, expanding access beyond conventional market hours.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dubai, UAE, Sept. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)<\/a> — Gold has rarely been more relevant. From inflation and interest rate expectations to geopolitical uncertainty and central bank buying, the precious metal continues to play a central role in global financial markets. Yet while the events that influence gold unfold around the clock, traditional spot gold trading has historically remained unavailable during weekends.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Responding to this market gap, QuoMarkets<\/u><\/strong><\/a> has introduced GOLD247<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, a dedicated weekend trading instrument that enables eligible clients to trade XAUUSD on Saturdays and Sundays through the MetaTrader 5 platform.<\/p>\n

Gold Demand Continues to Reshape Global Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interest in the international gold<\/strong> market has remained resilient despite record prices. According to the <\/u>World Gold Council<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, total gold demand reached 1,249 tonnes<\/strong> during the second quarter of 2025, while the total value of demand climbed to a record US$132 billion<\/strong>. Strong investment inflows, continued central bank purchases and sustained investor demand reinforced gold’s position as one of the world’s most actively traded financial assets.<\/p>\n

For investors, gold plays multiple roles within a portfolio. It is widely followed as a hedge against inflation, a store of value during periods of uncertainty and a benchmark asset during times of heightened market volatility. Those characteristics keep drawing interest from institutional and retail participants alike.<\/p>\n

Why Weekend Access Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most common questions among traders is simple: Is the gold market open on weekends?<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Under traditional market structures, conventional spot gold trading generally pauses after markets close on Friday before resuming at the start of the new trading week. However, economic developments, geopolitical events and shifts in market sentiment are not confined to weekday trading hours. Markets may close, but the events that shape them rarely do.<\/p>\n

As investors increasingly monitor financial markets throughout the weekend, the demand for greater accessibility has become a growing area of focus across the trading industry.<\/p>\n

Introducing GOLD247<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than extending the operating hours of its conventional XAUUSD product, QuoMarkets developed GOLD247<\/strong> as a standalone instrument specifically designed for weekend trading<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The product enables eligible clients to monitor prices, analyse market movements and trade CFD gold<\/strong> through MetaTrader 5 during Saturday and Sunday. It complements QuoMarkets’ existing XAUUSD offering without changing the structure or trading schedule of its conventional weekday gold products.<\/p>\n

Designed for Weekend Participation<\/strong><\/p>\n

GOLD247 operates independently from QuoMarkets’ standard XAUUSD instruments and follows its own trading specifications appropriate for weekend market conditions.<\/p>\n

During the regular trading week, the instrument automatically transitions into close-only mode, allowing traders to manage existing positions while conventional XAUUSD trading continues under its normal schedule.<\/p>\n

Because GOLD247 and traditional XAUUSD operate separately, each instrument follows its own pricing methodology and trading framework. Traders should evaluate each product according to its own specifications, market conditions and risk characteristics.<\/p>\n

Extended Gold Trading Gains Wider Attention<\/strong><\/p>\n

QuoMarkets’ launch comes amid broader industry efforts to improve access to gold markets beyond conventional trading sessions.<\/p>\n

In July 2026, CME Group<\/u><\/strong> reported strong participation<\/u><\/a> following the launch of weekend trading for its 1-Ounce Gold futures contract, with nearly 15,000 contracts traded during its inaugural weekend<\/strong>. The exchange also recorded record activity across its metals complex during the first half of the year, reflecting continued global participation in gold markets.<\/p>\n

Although GOLD247 is distinct from exchange-traded futures, these developments demonstrate that extending access to gold markets is becoming an increasingly important area of innovation across the financial industry.<\/p>\n

Expanding Access, Not Replacing Traditional Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

GOLD247 has been introduced as an additional trading opportunity rather than a replacement for conventional spot gold trading.<\/p>\n

Standard XAUUSD products continue operating during normal market hours, while GOLD247 provides a separate trading environment for eligible clients seeking weekend gold<\/strong> market access. This distinction allows traders to choose the instrument most appropriate for the trading session in which they wish to participate.<\/p>\n

For QuoMarkets, the launch reflects a broader commitment to expanding market accessibility while maintaining clear product separation and transparent trading conditions.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether weekend trading becomes a standard feature across the wider gold market remains to be seen. What is clear is that trader expectations around market accessibility are shifting.<\/p>\n

As brokers, exchanges and technology providers explore new ways of improving market participation, the question is no longer simply \u201cdoes gold trade on weekends?\u201d<\/strong> Instead, the conversation is shifting towards how traders can access global markets more effectively while maintaining transparency, product integrity and sound risk management.<\/p>\n
