24/7 gold trading product launches

Entities: One‑ounce gold futures · Commodity Futures Trading Commission · Gold · United States · CME Group

Overview

In early July 2026, Vantage Markets introduced a continuous gold CFD named XAUUSD247, marking the first round‑the‑clock contract of its kind on the platform. A few weeks later, CME Group expanded the 24/7 concept to futures markets by debuting a one‑ounce gold futures contract. The CME launch on the weekend of July 26 saw close to 15,000 contracts exchanged, generating roughly $60 million in notional value and indicating strong demand for nonstop gold trading. The move follows CME’s broader push for continuous‑trading products, although a parallel effort to list a 24/7 crude‑oil futures contract was halted by the U.S. CFTC over regulatory concerns.
