Sky Links Capital Adds LBMA Gold Fixing, Options and Weekend Trading

Sky Links Capital has launched a gold pricing service tied to a widely used industry benchmark, alongside expanded gold options and weekend trading, the broker said today (Tuesday), adding tools that let clients trade and hedge the metal around a twice-daily reference price.

The new Gold AM/PM Fixing service lets clients execute trades based on the LBMA Gold Price, the reference set through the London Bullion Market Association auction process.

Clients place orders before the morning or afternoon cut-off window, and the trades are booked automatically once the relevant benchmark price publishes, according to the firm.

Sky Links Capital said the additions sit alongside its existing gold products, which now span spot gold, CFDs on gold, gold futures, the new fixing service, gold options, and perpetual trading that runs through weekends.

The company said the wider toolset gives traders more flexibility to manage exposure and run hedging strategies.

Benchmark Pricing Sets the Launch Apart

The LBMA Gold Price serves as a global reference point for pricing, settlement and valuation across institutional precious metals markets, and it shows up far more often on the desks of banks and large dealers than inside retail CFD platforms.

For Sky Links, the move builds on a steady run of gold-focused announcements. In early May the broker projected client gold volume would grow through the first half of 2026, though it released only percentage estimates and held back the underlying dollar figures.

"Gold continues to play a central role in portfolio diversification and risk management strategies," said Daniel Takieddine, co-founder and chief executive of Sky Links Capital Group.

He added the firm was adding access to benchmark pricing and a broader set of gold derivatives, including options, futures, CFDs and perpetuals.

Brokers Race to Keep Gold Open on Weekends

The weekend and around-the-clock side of the launch lands in a crowded field. Several brokers have rolled out products built to close the gap that opens when spot and futures markets shut on Friday and reopen Monday, a window in which geopolitical and macro headlines can still move prices.

CMC Markets launched a product called "Gold - Weekend" in April 2026, letting spread betting and CFD clients adjust positions before the Monday open, as brokers moved to fill the Saturday gap.

On the institutional side, LMAX Group added gold to its perpetual futures platform in February 2026, and Scope Prime completed the rollout of its DIGIXAU continuous gold CFD in March.

Set against that, the Sky Links weekend and perpetual offering largely matches what rivals already run, while the LBMA fixing service is the part that sets its lineup apart.

Pricing and Volume Detail Stay Undisclosed

As with its May update, Sky Links did not disclose pricing, spreads, margin requirements or the exact timing of its fixing windows. The company also gave no figures for current gold trading volumes or client numbers, leaving the scale of the activity unclear.

The release describes the products as available to eligible clients, though Sky Links operates through several entities with different permissions.

The broker secured a UAE Category 5 license last year, but that entity acts as an introducing broker only, does not hold client funds and does not execute trades.

The trading itself runs through units regulated in Mauritius and registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Sky Links was founded in mid-2024 by Takieddine, the former chief executive of BDSwiss for the MENA region, and has since incorporated a holding company in the Dubai International Financial Centre.

The firm said demand for the new tools reflects growing interest in precious metals as investors look for hedging instruments amid macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical risk.
