XAUCNH questions

XAUCNH is the price of one troy ounce of gold in Chinese yuan. XAU is the code for gold and CNH is the currency it is priced in.

Each broker quotes its own bid and ask from its own liquidity providers, so prices can differ a little from broker to broker. The prices here are indicative bid quotes. Spreads also widen around big news and when the market opens.

Spot gold trades nearly 24 hours a day from Sunday evening to Friday evening, New York time, with a short daily break around 17:00 New York time.

On most brokers one standard lot of XAUCNH is 100 ounces, so a move of 1.00 in the price is worth 100.00 CNH a lot and 0.01 lots moves 1.00 CNH. Check your broker's contract size before you trade.

Mostly US interest rate expectations, the US dollar, inflation data and how much risk markets want to take. Gold often rises when the dollar and real interest rates fall.
