Gold Drives IUX to $1.5 Trillion Monthly Volume as Commodities Dominate 76% of Trading

IUX reported monthly trading volume above $1.5 trillion in 2026, with commodities driving the surge and gold as the biggest contributor. The broker said gold, silver, and energy products made up 76% of all trading activity across its account types, while FX and global indices accounted for the rest. The article frames the data as evidence of strong demand for commodity-linked CFDs amid higher volatility, liquidity, and hedging activity. IUX also credited low-latency infrastructure upgrades, private fiber connections, and stable spreads for attracting algorithmic and institutional-style flow. Looking ahead, the firm plans continued investment in technology and execution systems through the rest of 2026.
