Vantage Markets Launches 24/7 Gold CFD Trading with New XAUUSD247 Product

Vantage Markets, a multi-asset broker, announced the launch of a new contract for difference (CFD) product that enables 24/7 trading on gold. The offering, named XAUUSD247, allows eligible clients to trade the precious metal beyond traditional market hours, including on Saturdays and Sundays.

Product Details

According to the company's announcement on July 4, 2026, XAUUSD247 is a distinct over-the-counter (OTC) CFD product with specific features designed for continuous trading. It will be available to eligible clients on the MT5 and TradingView platforms, as well as the Vantage App.

Key features of the new product include:

• Contract Size: A one-ounce contract, smaller than the 100-ounce contract of Vantage’s standard XAUUSD product.
• Leverage: Tiered leverage of up to 100x may be available, depending on position size, account type, and other conditions.
• Costs: While no separate trading commission applies, traders will be subject to spreads, financing charges, and other applicable costs.

Market Context and Risk Management

The launch follows a recent announcement from CME Group regarding its plans to expand trading hours for certain gold futures products, signaling a broader industry trend toward extended market access. Vantage noted that its XAUUSD247 is a separate OTC product.

Ad

To manage the risks associated with continuous, leveraged trading, Vantage has incorporated built-in controls. The framework includes net and gross exposure limits at the account level. If an account reaches its applicable exposure threshold, it will be placed into a close-only mode until the exposure is reduced.

"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, Chief Executive Officer at Vantage, in the statement.

Implications for Traders

The availability of weekend trading for gold CFDs offers traders the ability to react to geopolitical events or economic data releases that occur outside the standard Monday-to-Friday trading week. This creates new opportunities but also means continuous exposure to market volatility.

Vantage specified that the availability of its products and services, including XAUUSD247, is subject to jurisdictional restrictions and may not be offered to residents of certain regions.
