AvaTrade has revealed gold as the most traded instrument across its GCC platforms, according to newly released data covering regional activity since April 1st. The data, drawn from platforms operating in Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, positions AvaTrade as a growing source of real-time market intelligence in the region.
The report ranks the top 25 most traded instruments by USD volume, highlighting strong demand for gold, US equity indices, and key forex pairs. AvaTrade said the insights aim to equip investors with the tools needed to navigate dynamic global and regional markets.
Gold Leads, US Equities and Forex Close Behind
Gold claimed the top spot as the most traded asset, underlining its continued appeal amid global uncertainty. US indices also dominated the list, with the NASDAQ 100, Dow Jones 30 (DJ30), and S&P 500 all placing within the top four, and the Russell 2000 following in eighth place.
Commodities such as crude oil, Brent oil, and silver featured prominently, while forex trading remained strong, with major pairs like USD/JPY, EUR/USD, and GBP/USD ranking in the top 10. Other active pairs included AUD/USD, USD/CHF, USD/CAD, and GBP/JPY.
Cryptocurrency also carved out a significant presence, with Bitcoin ranking tenth and Ethereum placing 18th — a reflection of expanding diversification in regional trading strategies.
