The Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group said that when its all-weather 1-ounce gold futures trading was launched on the first weekend, despite low volatility, demand was stronger than expected and the market had plenty of liquidity. On the first weekend of the launch of the new all-weather trading schedule, nearly 15,000 1-ounce gold futures contracts were traded, with a nominal value of approximately US$60 million. CME's participant composition is similar to its current 1-ounce gold customer base, and demand continues to come mainly from retail investors.
