STARPRIME Responds to Diverging Gold Market Demand with AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7
STARPRIME announced on September 17, 2026, from its headquarters in Port Louis, Mauritius, that it will add two new gold products—AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7—to its existing suite. The rollout is timed for the upcoming Forex Expo Dubai 2026, where the firm will appear as a Platinum Sponsor and demonstrate the expanded liquidity capabilities.
New Tools for Physical Hedgers
The AM/PM Fixing service targets participants who hold physical gold and need a reliable method to value and hedge inventory. Clients will be able to place fixing contracts directly with STARPRIME’s trading desk, after which the orders will be transformed into spot contracts. This structure lets traders offset fixing‑related exposure against other positions and may lower the margin needed compared with maintaining separate exposures. The company notes that, while fixing has long been a staple of the gold market, demand for more flexible structuring and hedging continues to rise, especially among firms that blend physical market activity with electronic trading platforms.
Continuous Quote‑driven Gold Access
XAU24/7 is designed for market participants who want round‑the‑clock, quote‑driven exposure to gold. The product reflects a broader shift in expectations, driven in part by the 24‑hour nature of cryptocurrency trading, which has set a precedent for continuous access in traditional CFD markets. Unlike an extension of the standard Spot XAUUSD session, XAU24/7 operates as a separate instrument, allowing pricing to be generated outside conventional reference‑market hours. Market dynamics, pricing behavior, and contract specifications may therefore differ when traditional markets are closed.
Aligning Liquidity with Diverse Needs
STARPRIME’s CEO, Jay Mawji, explained that the firm sees two distinct client groups: those needing efficient inventory valuation and hedging, and those seeking uninterrupted, quote‑driven trading. He emphasized that liquidity solutions must evolve to serve both segments, even though their requirements are fundamentally different. By adding the fixing‑focused and the always‑on products, STARPRIME aims to provide tailored execution, pricing, and risk‑management frameworks for each use case.
Showcasing at Mena Forex Expo
The expanded lineup will be highlighted at the MENA Forex Expo 2026, scheduled for September 22‑23 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. STARPRIME will occupy Booth 152, take part in a Liquidity Panel, and join a fireside chat that will explore how product design, pricing models, and execution strategies are adapting to the changing demands of brokers, institutions, and professional traders. The event will also serve as a forum to discuss risk‑management practices as participants look for more specialized ways to tap into gold liquidity.
By introducing AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7, STARPRIME positions itself to meet the evolving preferences of both physical gold hedgers and traders who expect uninterrupted market access, reinforcing its role as a versatile liquidity provider in the global gold market.
