Feb 13: Amid heightened volatility in global precious metals markets, VT Markets has reinforced the strength and resilience of its trading infrastructure, maintaining stable execution and uninterrupted market access during periods of intense market stress.
In January alone, VT Markets recorded an impressive USD 1.5 trillion in gold trading volume, underscoring strong client engagement and sustained confidence in its trading environment. Notably, 20% of gold traders were new to the platform, reflecting VT Markets’ ability to attract new participants eager to capitalize on opportunities arising from heightened market fluctuations.
The platform experienced its highest gold trading volume on 29 January 2026, as global markets witnessed dramatic price movements. Gold futures surged past $5,500 per ounce, followed by sharp intraday volatility driven by geopolitical developments and macroeconomic pressures.
Despite the fast-moving conditions, VT Markets’ deep and diversified liquidity pool ensured consistent pricing and high order fill rates. Average spreads on gold and silver remained competitive, and execution stability was preserved even as liquidity challenges affected parts of the broader industry.
Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operation at VT Markets, commented:
“Volatile conditions inevitably test market infrastructure. While some platforms pulled back to manage their own risk, our systems performed exactly as designed — keeping gold and silver trading open and accessible for clients. That ability to stay operational during extreme conditions is what sets us apart from other brokers.”
This performance highlights VT Markets’ ongoing commitment to delivering reliable market access when it matters most. In environments where execution speed, liquidity depth, and platform resilience are critical, VT Markets has demonstrated its ability to perform under pressure — enabling traders worldwide to navigate volatility with confidence.
