QuoMarkets Introduces Weekend XAUUSD Trading as Demand for Continuous Market Access Grows

Multi-asset brokerage QuoMarkets has launched GOLD247, a dedicated trading instrument designed to enable weekend trading of gold (XAUUSD) via the MetaTrader 5 platform. Traditional spot gold trading typically pauses at the end of Friday's session, but ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, interest rate shifts, and central bank demand have fueled continuous investor interest around the clock. GOLD247 operates as a standalone instrument with its own pricing framework, entering a close-only mode during standard weekday trading hours to avoid interfering with regular spot market schedules. This product launch aligns with wider market trends expanding market access; for example, CME Group launched weekend trading for its 1-Ounce Gold futures contract in July 2026, recording nearly 15,000 contracts during its inaugural weekend. Overall gold market dynamics remain robust, with World Gold Council data showing total Q2 2025 demand hitting 1,249 tonnes, valued at a record $132 billion.
