About Gold / Swiss Franc
Gold / Swiss Franc (XAUCHF) expresses the value of gold in Swiss francs and belongs to the metals category. Its quotation indicates how many Swiss francs correspond to a troy ounce of gold. The price therefore reflects both changes in gold’s international value and movements in the Swiss franc against other currencies.
XAUCHF brings together gold and a currency often associated with demand for defensive assets. Their responses to uncertainty can reinforce or offset each other, making this quotation behave differently from gold priced in US dollars. Swiss monetary policy and exchange-rate movements add a distinct currency dimension to the broader influences affecting the gold market.
On Xellion’s MT5 platform, XAUCHF is traded as a CFD, allowing a position to be long or short without owning physical gold or the underlying asset. The contract size is 100 troy oz. Trading is available nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a short daily break. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses.

XAUCHF questions
How is XAUCHF different from gold priced in US dollars?
XAUCHF quotes gold in Swiss francs rather than US dollars. Changes in the franc’s exchange rate can therefore alter its performance relative to dollar-priced gold, even when both quotations reflect the same underlying gold market.
Does a stronger Swiss franc affect XAUCHF?
With other factors unchanged, a stronger Swiss franc reduces the franc amount needed to purchase gold, putting downward pressure on XAUCHF. However, gold’s own price movements can offset or outweigh that currency effect.
What does the XAUCHF contract size represent?
The supplied contract size is 100 troy oz of gold. On Xellion’s MT5 platform, the instrument is a CFD: it provides exposure to gold priced in Swiss francs rather than ownership or delivery of physical bullion.
When can XAUCHF be traded on Xellion?
XAUCHF trading is available nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a short daily break. This broad schedule spans several regional trading sessions, although liquidity and price movement can differ across those sessions.
