About Mini Gold (XAUmini)
XAUmini follows the same gold price as XAU/USD, with one difference: the contract size is 10 ounces instead of 100. That makes each lot one tenth the exposure and one tenth the margin. Smaller accounts get finer control over position size, and larger accounts get a precision tool for scaling in and out. The price drivers are identical to standard gold.
Key Price Drivers
