London, Monday, 20 April 2026 – CMC Markets (“CMC”), a FTSE 250 company and global leader in multi-asset online trading and investing for retail, professional and institutional clients, has launched a new weekend gold trading (Gold – Weekend) product for spread betting and CFDs.
This product provides continuous access to gold markets, even when the underlying spot and futures markets are closed. It is designed for those seeking uninterrupted access to global markets.
The launch follows the rollout of 24/5 trading on US stocks and ETFs, with around 250 equities currently available for spread betting and CFD trading outside standard market hours, with further expansion planned.
This strengthens CMC’s offering for traders using gold as a core hedging and risk-management instrument, enabling them to manage exposure when the underlying markets are closed.
Together, these developments enhance CMC Markets’ multi-asset offering, giving clients greater flexibility and more meaningful access to global markets.
Laurence Booth, Global Head of Markets, CMC Markets, said:
“This launch reflects our focus on giving clients access to markets when it matters most.”
“By introducing 24/7 gold trading and expanding access to US equities during extended hours, we’re reducing time constraints and giving traders greater control and flexibility in fast-moving global markets.”
