The large order execution mode in the precious metals market was launched in March 2026. It allows transactions with gold, silver, platinum, and palladium using anonymous quote requests from the largest liquidity providers with settlement through a central counterparty (CCP). The minimum large lot size in this mode is 10 kg for gold and silver and 1 kg for platinum and palladium.
Arina Kostryukova, Director of Currency and Precious Metals Markets at the Moscow Exchange:
“The first silver auction showed that the new service is suitable for efficient execution of deals for large lots. Auction initiators can obtain quotes for a large volume and conclude deals based on them, while liquidity providers can create individual offers for specific requests. This allows for the prompt execution of large volumes without affecting the quotes in the order book.”
