Gold In The Spotlight Amid Trading Surge
Pepperstone’s spread cut comes amidst a period of heightened activity in the gold market. Gold prices have risen over 25% since the start of 2025 with daily price swings surpassing $50 per pounce.
US-China trade tensions and political instability amongst some of the world’s largest economies have led to more uncertainty, adding to gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.
Unsurprisingly, this volatility has attracted active traders looking to capitalize on the sharp price movements. With lower fees, Pepperstone hopes to incentivise more precious metal traders to its platform.
