About

About Gold (Gram)

Gold (Gram) is the world's most traded precious metal, quoted in grams against the US Dollar. This instrument offers traders granular exposure to gold price movements with smaller contract sizes, which suits retail traders seeking lower entry costs and precise position sizing. Gold remains a critical safe-haven asset, with daily trading volumes in the hundreds of billions of dollars across global markets.

Gold prices are influenced by a complex interplay of macroeconomic factors including US Federal Reserve policy, interest rate expectations, USD strength, geopolitical tensions, and inflation data. Central bank purchases, real yields, and equity market volatility also significantly impact gram-denominated gold valuations. Risk sentiment and economic uncertainty typically drive safe-haven demand, supporting higher gold prices during market stress.

At GCC Brokers, Gold (Gram) is traded with automatic execution and no manual intervention, with variable spreads. Trade on our Zero or Standard accounts with flexible leverage and overnight financing at the swap rates shown in the specifications above. GCC Brokers Limited is regulated by the FSC Mauritius.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the trading hours for Gold (Gram)?

Gold (Gram) trades nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with a short daily break, aligning with global precious metals markets; the exact hours, in server time, are in the specifications above. This extensive trading window allows traders to respond to news events and economic data releases across all major time zones.

What spreads and pricing apply to Gold (Gram) at GCC Brokers?

Spreads are variable and depend on market conditions and your account. Standard and Pro have no commission, and Pro has tighter spreads; Zero has raw spreads plus a commission. The live spread is shown on this page. Positions held overnight are charged or credited a swap, shown in the specifications.

What drives the price of Gold (Gram)?

Gold (Gram) prices are driven primarily by USD strength, real interest rates, and inflation expectations, as the commodity is dollar-denominated. Geopolitical risk, central bank policy, and equity market downturns typically increase safe-haven demand. Federal Reserve decisions, non-farm payrolls, and global economic data releases are key catalysts for price movements.

Why trade gram-denominated gold instead of troy ounce gold?

Gram-denominated gold offers smaller contract increments, allowing traders to fine-tune position sizes and manage risk more precisely. Lower notional values per unit make gram-based gold accessible for retail traders with smaller capital bases. Both instruments track the same underlying gold price, so your choice depends on position sizing preferences and trading strategy.

Is Gold (Gram) suitable for swing traders and scalpers?

Gold (Gram) is used by both swing traders and intraday traders: swing traders follow trends tied to interest rates and the US dollar, while intraday traders look at shorter moves. Scalping is welcome. Practices that abuse prices or latency, such as latency arbitrage, are not allowed under the Client Agreement.
