STARTRADER launches XAUUSD247 gold CFD

STARTRADER, a global multi-asset broker, announced the launch of XAUUSD247, a gold contract for difference (CFD) that provides quotes across the full week, including weekends and overnight hours when the traditional gold market is closed. The instrument goes live on MetaTrader 4 on 21 August 2026, with Web and app availability to follow in early September. Availability depends on account type, client classification and jurisdiction; the instrument is not available to clients in all countries. The launch responds to the fact that developments affecting gold can occur outside traditional market hours, as gold responds to geopolitical developments, central bank decisions, and shifts in risk sentiment that do not follow a five-day trading week. XAUUSD247 sits alongside the existing XAUUSD, which remains available on unchanged terms. The launch is consistent with STARTRADER's broader 24/7 product direction, reflecting an effort to extend access beyond standard market hours where the product structure allows. STARTRADER expects to explore continuous access across other asset classes where client activity and market-moving developments are least aligned with standard trading hours.
