According to D Prime latest trading volume report, total turnover reached USD 187.03 billion, representing an 11.77% increase month on month, while average daily volume rose to USD 6.03 billion, up 8.17% compared with November.
The data suggest that December marked a turning point after a subdued autumn, with widening price ranges and more decisive market moves encouraging higher participation across asset classes.
Gold drives volumes as price action intensifies
Gold emerged as the single largest contributor to December’s growth. Trading volume in XAU/USD increased by USD 22.3 billion, making it the biggest driver of overall activity during the month. Prices climbed steadily in early December before breaking above USD 4,500 per ounce on Dec. 24, reaching an all-time high of USD 4,549.69, and later pulling back to close the month near USD 4,318.
This combination of sharp rallies and corrective moves created a wide trading range that supported sustained activity. Analysts at D Prime noted that expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, ongoing central bank gold purchases, and elevated geopolitical risks continued to reinforce gold’s dual role as both a tactical trading instrument and a defensive hedge.
Broader market participation gains momentum
While gold led the rebound, activity in December 2025 was not confined to a single market. EUR/USD, GBP/USD, NAS100, BTC/UST, and XAU/USD ranked among the most actively traded instruments, reflecting ongoing interest in major currencies, equity indices, and digital assets.
One of the most notable shifts was seen in the DE40, where trading volume surged 1,755.76% month on month, driven by a year-end recovery in European equities and amplified by a low comparison base earlier in the quarter.
D Prime said the rebound in December volumes reflected a broader return of engagement as markets transitioned from consolidation to clearer directional movement. The broker added that diversified opportunities across commodities, indices, currencies, and crypto helped sustain participation into year-end.
As markets move into 2026, attention is expected to remain focused on interest rate policy, global growth resilience, and geopolitical developments. D Prime said it continues to prioritise deep liquidity, stable execution, and access to global markets as traders navigate shifting conditions.
For context, D Prime had previously announced an adjustment to the trading conditions for the HK50 index.
