Metals Trading
Trade Gold and Silver With a Stuniex Funded Account
XAU/USD and XAG/USD: trade the world's classic safe-haven and industrial metals inside a risk-managed funded account.
Gold and silver behave differently from most other markets Stuniex funds, driven by real rates, central bank policy, and risk sentiment rather than earnings or single-country data. That makes metals a core instrument for many disciplined, macro-aware traders on the desk.
Metals positions are governed by the same risk-first framework as every market we fund: defined maximum drawdown, position-sizing limits, and full performance transparency.
Instruments
What you can trade
Spot metals trade nearly 24 hours a day alongside forex, with peak liquidity during London and New York hours.
Gold and silver aren't interchangeable trades even though they're often quoted together. XAU/USD tends to move on real interest rate expectations and its role as a safe-haven during risk-off periods, so it often reacts strongly to central bank commentary and inflation data. XAG/USD carries genuine industrial demand alongside its precious-metal status, which means it can be more volatile than gold and occasionally decouples from it entirely when industrial demand data surprises the market.
Defined Risk Limits
Every metals position operates inside a set maximum drawdown and position-sizing framework.

Gold vs. Silver
Two metals, two very different drivers.
Gold's price is largely a story about opportunity cost: when real yields fall or uncertainty rises, holding a non-yielding asset like gold becomes relatively more attractive, and price tends to reflect that shift quickly. That makes it one of the more macro-sensitive instruments on the desk, closely tracking central bank policy expectations, inflation surprises, and broad risk sentiment.
Silver inherits some of gold's safe-haven behavior but adds a genuine industrial-demand component from electronics and solar manufacturing, which means it can rally or sell off on data that has nothing to do with monetary policy at all. That dual identity is exactly why silver's typical range tends to run wider than gold's, and why risk parameters are calibrated separately for each.
- Gold reacts sharply to real interest rate expectations
- Silver carries industrial demand exposure gold doesn't have
- Both trade nearly 24 hours a day alongside the forex session
- Peak liquidity during the London and New York overlap
FAQ
Metals trading questions
Yes, XAU/USD and XAG/USD are both available, confirmed during onboarding.
The same core framework applies (defined drawdown and position-sizing limits) calibrated to each instrument's typical volatility.
Metals are especially sensitive to real interest rates, central bank policy, and risk sentiment. Your onboarding covers instrument-specific guidance.
Silver combines safe-haven demand with real industrial use in electronics and solar manufacturing, so it responds to a wider range of data than gold, which trades primarily on rate expectations and risk sentiment.
They often correlate, but not always. Because silver has an industrial-demand component gold lacks, the two can decouple when manufacturing or industrial data surprises the market independently of broader risk sentiment.
