About XAU/USD

XAU/USD represents the price of one troy ounce of gold quoted in US dollars. Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years and remains one of the most liquid commodities in the world, with daily trading volumes exceeding $150 billion across spot, futures, and OTC markets.

Gold is widely regarded as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. It tends to appreciate during periods of economic uncertainty, geopolitical tension, and loose monetary policy. Central bank gold reserves, real interest rates, and the US dollar index are among the primary drivers of XAU/USD price movements.

At GCC Brokers, gold is traded as a CFD with full STP execution. Orders execute automatically, with no manual intervention. This makes XAU/USD one of our most popular instruments, particularly among traders in the Gulf and MENA region.
