High-impact releases for XAU, USD over the next 7 days, in server time (GMT+2). Dots on the 1D and 5D charts mark recent releases.
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 automatic 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.
XAU/USD trades nearly 24 hours a day, five days a week, with a short daily break. The exact hours, in server time, are in the specifications above.
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.
Leverage depends on your account type; the Accounts page has the details. Margin is set per symbol and per tier: the rate for XAU/USD scales with your account leverage, rises for larger positions and is shown on this page and on the Margin schedule page. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses, so size positions carefully.
Key drivers include US Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, inflation data (CPI, PCE), geopolitical events, central bank gold purchases, the US dollar index (DXY), and overall risk sentiment in financial markets.
Gold is one of the most liquid and widely followed instruments in the world. Its price action tends to be technically clean, making it accessible for new traders. However, gold can be volatile during major economic releases — risk management is essential.
