Dubai, UAE – Skylinks Capital announced a significant increase in customer engagement with the gold markets, with expectations that this momentum will continue during the first half of 2026, particularly as investors continue to show interest in highly liquid assets amid rising uncertainty in global markets.

Based on internal platform data and current performance assumptions, Skylinks Capital anticipates total trading volume growth for spot gold by 30% and for gold futures by 27.5% during the first half of 2026. The firm also projects accelerated growth in the second fiscal quarter, forecasting a 25% increase in spot gold and a 30% increase in gold futures compared to the first fiscal quarter. Skylinks Capital reported that spot gold currently accounts for the largest share of trading volume on the platform, followed by gold futures and then the EUR/USD pair.

This update comes amid heightened volatility in global gold markets. Spot gold reached record highs exceeding $5,500 per ounce in late January before subsequently retreating, influenced by geopolitical shifts, monetary policy expectations, and other factors impacting traders' decisions.

In this context, Daniel Takieddine, co-founder and CEO of Sky Links Capital Group, stated: "The trading volume in gold is a clear indicator of client behavior when risk takes center stage." He continued, "In high volatility, trading activity often tends to concentrate in a limited number of highly liquid markets. Clients prioritize execution quality and the ability to quickly adjust their exposure, which explains why gold continues to account for a significant share of client activity on our platform."

Recent operational achievements have also contributed to expanding the range of customer use cases on the platform, including the activation of a dedicated equity trading module for professional and experienced investors, to provide specialized execution on spot equities and equity CFDs, subject to the availability of financial instruments and applicable regulations.

Apollo Eirongbaum, Head of Marketing at Skylinks Capital, stated, "Consistent engagement is built on clarity and trust, especially when markets are rife with conflicting signals." He continued, "Clients expect a stable operating model, support in clear language, and execution mechanisms that align with their trading style across the markets."

Historical data from Skylinks Capital shows spot gold trading volumes rising by 18.8% between the first and second halves of 2025.
