STARPRIME Responds to Diverging Gold Market Demand with AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7
Port Louis, Mauritius, September 17th, 2026, FinanceWire
New offerings address two distinct market needs: fixing-related exposure management and continuous quote-driven gold access.
Port Louis,Mauritius, September 17, 2026, STARPRIME is expanding its gold offering with AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7, giving market participants two distinct ways to manage and access gold exposure. Both offerings will be available in time for Forex Expo Dubai 2026, where STARPRIME will showcase its expanded liquidity offering as a Platinum Sponsor.
The additions build on STARPRIME’s existing gold suite, which includes Spot XAUUSD, with contract variations for Top of Book and Order Depth, as well as XAU Futures. By adding AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7, STARPRIME is broadening the ways clients can access and manage gold exposure across different trading structures and market conditions.
“Physical gold participants increasingly need efficient ways to value and hedge inventory, while another segment is seeking continuous, quote-driven access. These are very different requirements, and liquidity solutions need to evolve around both,” said Jay Mawji, CEO of STARPRIME.
AM/PM Fixing is designed for physical hedgers and other market participants managing exposure around fixing prices. Clients will be able to trade fixing contracts directly with the STARPRIME Trading Desk, with orders subsequently converted into spot contracts. This allows fixing-related exposure to be offset against other positions and may reduce the margin requirements associated with maintaining separate exposures.
While fixing is established within the gold market, demand continues to grow among participants looking for greater flexibility in structuring and hedging positions. For physical market participants in particular, managing fixing-related exposure alongside existing spot positions can create a more integrated approach between physical market activity and electronic trading infrastructure.
XAU24/7 addresses a different development: rising demand for quote-driven assets available around the clock. Crypto markets helped normalise expectations of continuous access, and that behaviour is increasingly influencing traditional CFD markets, where interest in metals and energies beyond conventional trading hours continues to develop.
Designed around that shift, XAU24/7 provides a quote-driven gold product available 24/7. It should, however, be considered a distinct instrument rather than simply an extension of Spot XAUUSD trading hours. Pricing can be created outside traditional reference-market hours, while market conditions, pricing behaviour and contract specifications may differ when conventional reference markets are closed.
The introduction of both offerings reflects STARPRIME’s broader approach to liquidity: different market participants require different structures, pricing methodologies and execution solutions. The needs of a physical hedger differ fundamentally from those of a client seeking continuous access, yet both require liquidity models adapted to their specific use cases.
STARPRIME will present the expanded offering at MENA Forex Expo 2026 on 22–23 September at Dubai World Trade Centre. As a Platinum Sponsor, STARPRIME will exhibit at Booth 152 and participate in a Liquidity Panel and fireside chat, exploring changing liquidity dynamics and the evolving requirements of brokers, institutions and professional trading businesses.
The event will also provide a platform to discuss how product structure, pricing, execution and risk management are adapting as market participants seek more specialised ways to access liquidity.
