Sky Links Capital announced Tuesday it has launched an LBMA Gold Price fixing service, allowing clients to execute trades directly against the twice-daily London benchmark used primarily by institutional dealers and banks. The broker said orders placed before morning or afternoon cutoffs are automatically booked when the official LBMA price publishes. The service joins expanded gold options and weekend trading capabilities, adding to Sky Links’ existing spot gold, CFDs, and futures products.
The LBMA-linked execution is the standout feature, as the benchmark typically appears on institutional trading desks rather than retail CFD platforms. The launch follows Sky Links’ May projection of rising client gold volumes through early 2026, though the firm disclosed only percentage growth without absolute figures. CEO Daniel Takieddine cited gold’s role in portfolio diversification and risk management as drivers behind the expanded toolkit.
Weekend gold trading is becoming table stakes, with CMC Markets and other brokers racing to cover the Saturday-Sunday gap when spot markets close but geopolitical risks remain active.
