The Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s current run of reduced fees for gold futures is genuinely solid. If the liquidity subsidies are in place, institutions should come in to give it a try.

CoinWorld News reports that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has announced a full-market trading fee discount for US dollar gold futures contracts, as well as liquidity provider and active trader incentive programs. The arrangements will take effect from July 2026 for a period of twelve months and may be revised from time to time by the exchange. The exchange will offer a full-market trading fee waiver for the original $1 trading fee on US dollar gold futures contracts, applicable from July 6, 2026, to June 30, 2027. Applications for the liquidity provider incentive program and the active trader incentive program are now open, with the program period from July 6, 2026, to June 30, 2027. Applicants may only participate in one of the programs and cannot participate in both simultaneously. Applications must be submitted on or before June 16, 2026.
