Vantage Markets, a multi-asset CFD broker, has announced the launch of XAUUSD247, a new over-the-counter gold CFD product that allows eligible clients to trade gold around the clock, seven days a week, including weekends. The announcement was made on July 4, 2026, with the official product page set to go live on July 6. Trading will be available via MT5, TradingView, and the Vantage App, subject to scheduled maintenance and regional availability.
The launch comes as CME Group revealed plans to extend trading hours for certain gold futures to 24/7, pending regulatory approval. However, XAUUSD247 is a standalone OTC product from Vantage, not linked to CME's initiative. The new contract uses a smaller 1-ounce size, compared to the 100-ounce contract of Vantage's standard XAUUSD, aiming to provide more granular exposure. No separate commission is charged, but spreads, financing costs, and other fees apply. Tiered leverage of up to 100x may be offered, depending on account type and position size. The product also features net and gross exposure limits; once thresholds are breached, accounts enter close-only mode until exposure falls back within limits.
“XAUUSD247 provides eligible clients with access to gold CFDs beyond standard market hours, supported by transparent product mechanics and clearly defined trading controls,” said Marc Despallieres, CEO of Vantage. The broker stresses that CFDs are complex instruments and carry high risk of rapid loss due to leverage.
