Gold Futures Power DGCX Growth as 2025 Volumes Rise 30%

Jan 20, 2026

249174758 JumeirahThe Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX) closed 2025 with a 30% year-on-year rise in traded volumes, reaching over 2 million lots, while the total value of contracts traded climbed to $46.96 billion. Average daily volumes increased to 7,940 lots, supported by an average open interest of 13,015 lots, reflecting steady participation across products.

Gold futures emerged as the key growth driver during the year, with volumes surging 613% year-on-year to 5,335 lots. The sharp rise highlighted stronger demand for hedging and price discovery tools amid shifting market conditions.

Trading activity peaked in April 2025, when DGCX recorded its highest single-day volume of 26,108 lots. The milestone underscored the exchange’s growing role in regional and international derivatives trading.

On the regulatory front, DGCX’s clearing house, Dubai Commodities Clearing Corporation (DCCC), was re-recognised by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) as a third-country central counterparty (CCP).

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DGCX, said: “ESMA’s recognition of the Dubai Commodities Clearing Corporation as a third-country CCP, following a rigorous regulatory assessment, highlights the growing international confidence in Dubai’s market infrastructure and the UAE’s standing as a world-class and trusted hub for global trade and capital flows.”
