CME’s Debut of 24/7 Gold Futures Trading Met With Strong Demand

CME Group Inc. said the debut weekend of 24/7 trading for its one-ounce gold futures saw stronger-than-expected demand with deep liquidity despite subdued volatility. Nearly 15,000 one-ounce gold futures contracts, representing about $60 million in notional value, traded during the inaugural weekend of the new all-hours trading schedule. CME’s participant mix looked similar to its existing one-ounce gold customer base, with demand continuing to come primarily from retail investors.

  • Nearly 15,000 contracts traded, primarily driven by retail investors, with tight bid-ask spreads indicating market efficiency.
