XM, a global online trading and investment firm, has unveiled GOLD24-7, a new gold trading instrument that extends access to the precious metal beyond traditional market hours. The product allows clients to trade gold seven days a week, including weekends, a departure from conventional gold CFDs that follow standard exchange schedules.
“Markets don't stop generating news simply because it's the weekend,” said Stavri Morti, Co-CEO at XM. “Economic data, geopolitical developments and breaking news can all influence market sentiment over the weekend. We introduced GOLD24-7 to give our clients greater flexibility to respond to those developments as they happen, instead of waiting until Monday.”
The launch is part of XM’s broader strategy to diversify its product lineup and adapt its trading experience to evolving market conditions and client demands. With over 15 years of experience in gold trading, XM has established itself as a market leader in this asset class, a position reinforced earlier this year during a period of historic volatility in the gold market. The broker provided uninterrupted trading and exceptional execution conditions, including zero requotes and no rejections, even amid sharp price swings.
GOLD24-7 builds on that track record by removing the traditional weekly cutoff, enabling traders to maintain positions and manage risk over the weekend. This feature is particularly relevant for investors who want to react to weekend news events, such as geopolitical tensions or unexpected economic releases, without waiting for Monday’s market open.
The new instrument is now available to all XM clients. Interested traders can open an account in minutes and begin trading gold throughout the week. XM, which serves over 20 million clients in more than 190 countries, offers access to over 1,400 instruments across various asset classes, including forex, stocks, and commodities. The broker holds multiple international licenses and is known for its competitive services, educational resources, and customer support.
While the launch of GOLD24-7 expands trading opportunities, it also underscores the growing demand for around-the-clock access to financial markets. As traditional trading hours become less relevant in a globally connected economy, brokers are increasingly offering extended hours or 24/7 trading on popular instruments. This trend is evident in other recent developments, such as BingX’s new trust center and MEXC’s annual trading event, which aim to enhance user engagement and transparency.
For gold traders, the ability to trade on weekends could be a significant advantage, especially during periods of high uncertainty. However, it is important to note that trading involves significant risks and may result in the loss of invested capital. As with any leveraged product, traders should carefully consider their risk tolerance and trading strategy.
XM’s move also highlights the competitive nature of the online brokerage industry, where firms are constantly seeking to differentiate themselves through innovative products and services. By offering weekend gold trading, XM is positioning itself as a forward-thinking broker that prioritizes client flexibility and responsiveness to market events.
