STARTRADER Launches XAUUSD247, Extending Gold CFD Access Across the Full Week

STARTRADER launched XAUUSD247, a gold CFD designed to provide quotes 24/7 across weekends and overnight hours when the traditional gold market is closed. The product begins trading on MetaTrader 5 on 21 August 2026, with web and app access expected in early September. The move is aimed at capturing price-relevant developments in gold that can occur outside normal market hours, such as geopolitical events, central bank decisions, and shifts in risk sentiment. The existing XAUUSD instrument remains available on unchanged terms. The launch underscores a broader push by brokers to extend access to event-sensitive assets beyond standard trading windows, but it does not indicate a direct change in gold prices themselves.
