IUX trading volume exceeded $1.5 trillion a month in 2026, with commodities led by gold driving most of the activity. The multi-asset trading platform said gold, silver, and energy products made up 76% of total trading across its Standard, Pro, and Raw accounts. Meanwhile, foreign exchange and global indices accounted for the rest.
The company said higher volume reflected ongoing investment in its trading infrastructure and pricing systems. It said it built a low-latency setup to handle stronger activity levels. In addition, IUX said private fiber-optic cross-connects and spread stability systems helped support traders using automated execution systems.
IUX Trading Volume Driven by Commodities
IUX said gold was the biggest contributor to the rise in trading volume. The company linked the increase to stronger activity in commodity trading. Finance Magnates said earlier reports showed rising participation in gold-related instruments, while volatility, liquidity conditions, and hedging demand supported activity in commodities and related asset classes.
The latest data comes as IUX shifts its 2026 strategy toward what it called a trader-focused approach. The company said this plan targets traders working in volatile market conditions. Therefore, it has tied product design and infrastructure spending to that goal.
Account Setup Targets Different Traders
IUX said the infrastructure behind its Raw account is built to give direct access to liquidity pools. It said that setup aims to cut transaction friction for automated strategies, especially in commodity markets. Meanwhile, the company said its Pro account is designed for manual high-volume traders.
IUX added that the Pro account structure aims to improve execution efficiency and trading costs across gold, foreign exchange, and indices. Looking ahead, the company said it will keep investing in technology through the rest of 2026. It also outlined more infrastructure upgrades and analytical tools to support trading activity and execution systems.
