Changes to Maximum Leverage on Gold

BY TIOmarkets

|January 30, 2026

Due to increased market volatility and as part of our ongoing risk management procedures, we would like to inform you of an upcoming change to the maximum available leverage on Gold (XAUUSD & XAUEUR).

Effective from market open on Monday, 2nd February

The maximum leverage on Gold will be adjusted to 1:200 for all trading account types. This change will apply to new and existing positions.

What this means for you

  • Higher margin may be required to open or maintain Gold positions.
  • Please review your current exposure to Gold and consider adjusting your position size.
  • Ensure your account has sufficient equity to avoid margin calls or automatic stop-outs.

This adjustment is intended to help mitigate risk during periods of heightened volatility and to support a more stable trading environment.

If you have any questions or require assistance, our support team is available to help.

Kind regards,
The TIOmarkets Team
