STARPRIME launches two new gold instruments to address diverging market needs. The firm introduces AM/PM Fixing for hedgers and a continuous quote-driven product.

STARPRIME has launched two new gold market instruments. The firm introduced AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7. These products target distinct client segments. One serves physical hedgers. The other provides continuous access. Both are available immediately. They build on existing Spot XAUUSD offerings. The launch coincides with Forex Expo Dubai 2026.

Physical gold participants need efficient valuation methods. They also require hedging tools for inventory. A separate group seeks continuous quote-driven access. These requirements are fundamentally different. Liquidity solutions must evolve to serve both. STARPRIME states that its new offerings address these specific gaps. The firm aims to bridge physical and electronic trading.

Fixing Contracts Target Physical Hedgers

AM/PM Fixing is designed for exposure management. Clients trade fixing contracts with the STARPRIME desk. Orders convert into spot contracts. This structure allows offsetting against other positions. It may reduce margin requirements. Physical market participants benefit from this integration. It links physical activity with electronic infrastructure. Demand for flexible hedging continues to grow.

The product caters to those managing fixing-related exposure. It offers a more integrated approach. Clients can align physical and electronic strategies. This reduces fragmentation in their portfolio. The solution adapts to specific use cases. It supports efficient inventory valuation. It also facilitates hedging activities.

Continuous Access Drives New Demand

XAU24/7 provides gold access around the clock. Crypto markets normalized continuous trading expectations. This behavior influences traditional CFD markets. Interest in metals grows beyond conventional hours. XAU24/7 is a distinct instrument. It is not just an extension of Spot XAUUSD. Pricing can occur outside reference market hours. Contract specifications may differ during these times.

Market conditions vary when reference markets are closed. Pricing behavior changes in this environment. Clients must understand these differences. The product serves quote-driven demand. It meets the need for constant availability. This reflects broader shifts in market behavior. Traditional hours no longer satisfy all participants.

Broader Liquidity Strategy Expands

STARPRIME tailors liquidity to specific client needs. Different participants require different structures. Pricing methodologies must vary. Execution solutions need adaptation. Physical hedgers have unique requirements. Continuous access seekers have different priorities. Both groups need specialized liquidity models. STARPRIME positions itself to serve both. The firm focuses on transparency and service. It emphasizes long-term partnerships. This approach supports its institutional client base.

The company will present these offerings in Dubai. It is a Platinum Sponsor at the event. The exhibition takes place on 22 and 23 September. It will join a liquidity panel. It will also hold a fireside chat. These sessions explore changing liquidity dynamics. They discuss evolving requirements of brokers. They address needs of institutions. They cover professional trading businesses. The event highlights specialized liquidity access.
