Multi-asset trading platform IUX said its monthly trading volume exceeded $1.5 trillion in 2026. The company said the increase was driven mainly by commodity trading, with gold as the largest contributor.
The development comes amid higher activity in commodity-linked derivatives markets. Finance Magnates has previously reported rising participation in gold-related instruments. It noted that volatility, liquidity conditions, and hedging demand have supported trading activity across commodities and related asset classes.
IUX Sees Commodity Trading Dominate
IUX said gold, along with silver and energy products, accounted for 76% of total trading activity across its Standard, Pro, and Raw account types. The remaining volume came from foreign exchange and global indices.
The company linked the rise in trading volumes to continued investment in its “trading infrastructure and pricing systems”. It said it has focused on building a low-latency trading environment to support higher activity levels.
Raw Account Targets Liquidity Access Directly
IUX said its infrastructure includes private fiber-optic cross-connects and systems designed to maintain spread stability for algorithmic trading strategies. It added that these measures have supported increased participation from traders using automated execution systems.
The data comes as the company adjusts its 2026 strategy toward what it described as a “trader-focused approach” aimed at participants operating in volatile market conditions.
As part of this approach, IUX said the infrastructure supporting its Raw account is designed to provide direct access to liquidity pools. It said the goal is to reduce transaction friction for automated strategies, particularly in commodity markets.
The company added that its Pro account structure is designed for manual high-volume traders. It said the setup is intended to improve execution efficiency and trading costs across gold, foreign exchange, and indices.
Looking ahead, IUX said it plans to continue investing in technology through the remainder of 2026. It outlined plans for further infrastructure upgrades and analytical tools aimed at supporting trading activity and execution systems.
