CFI Financial Group launched Gold 24/7 (XAUUSD-24H) on October 5, 2026, enabling clients to trade gold around the clock, including weekends when conventional gold markets remain closed. The Dubai-based broker has positioned the instrument as part of its broader strategy to expand trading access beyond traditional market hours across multiple asset classes.

  • Instrument Symbol: XAUUSD-24H
  • Trading Hours: Monday to Sunday, 00:05 to 23:58 (Server Time)
  • Availability: Subject to local regulatory requirements by jurisdiction
  • Related Offerings: Weekend trading for EUR/USD (EURUSDw) and USD/JPY (USDJPYw); 24/7 digital asset CFDs including Bitcoin vs. Gold (BTCXAU)

Gold 24/7 operates as a separate instrument from spot gold (XAUUSD), with distinct pricing, trading hours, and product conditions. The launch reflects growing demand for extended trading windows as geopolitical and economic events continue to move markets throughout the week, including periods when traditional exchanges are closed.

The world does not pause when traditional markets close, and neither do the events that move them. We have been gradually extending access beyond conventional trading hours where it makes sense, and Gold 24/7 is part of that broader direction. It gives clients more flexibility around when they can access the market, while reflecting how trading is continuing to evolve.
