About Gold / Euro
Gold / Euro (XAUEUR) expresses the value of gold in euros per troy ounce. As a metals instrument, it brings together the international gold market and the euro exchange rate. Its quotation shows how many euros correspond to a troy ounce of gold, rather than presenting gold in its more familiar US dollar terms.
XAUEUR is distinctive because its movements reflect both gold valuation and currency effects. A change in the euro can alter the euro-denominated gold price even when gold’s dollar price is unchanged. This makes the instrument a way to observe how precious-metal demand, monetary conditions and euro exchange-rate movements interact within a single quotation.
On Xellion’s MT5 platform, XAUEUR is traded as a CFD, allowing a position to be long or short without owning physical gold. The contract size is 100 troy oz, and trading runs nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a short daily break. CFD trading involves leverage-related risk, and price movements can generate losses as well as gains.

XAUEUR questions
How does XAUEUR differ from gold quoted in US dollars?
XAUEUR values gold in euros rather than US dollars. Its price therefore reflects the euro’s exchange rate as well as changes in gold’s international valuation. The two quotations can move differently because currency movements affect the amount of euros needed to value the same gold.
What does the 100 troy oz contract size mean for XAUEUR?
The supplied contract size represents 100 troy oz of gold per full contract. This is distinct from the quotation, which is expressed in euros per troy ounce. As a CFD, the contract provides price exposure rather than ownership or delivery of physical gold.
When can XAUEUR be traded?
XAUEUR trading hours are nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a short daily break. Trading is not continuous throughout the week. Breaks and closures can leave a gap between the last available quotation and the price when trading resumes.
Can I take a short position in XAUEUR without holding gold?
Yes. XAUEUR is traded as a CFD on Xellion’s MT5 platform, so positions can be long or short without owning gold. A short position loses value if the quoted euro gold price rises, while a long position loses value if it falls. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
