XAUUSD signals in China
China uses the same XAUUSD price as every other country: one troy ounce of gold in US dollars. In Beijing, the London morning auction is 18:30 local time and the busy overlap is 21:00–01:00.
Editorial update 25 October 2026. Clock rules for 2 November 2026.
The Shanghai Gold Exchange prices gold in yuan. XAUUSD is the international dollar price of one troy ounce, not a yuan contract.
CSRC is the regulator named for China. A clock is not a license. Accounts are often funded in Chinese yuan, while XAUUSD stays in dollars. The main language traders meet locally is Chinese. This page is in English.

Questions
Which clock should I use in China?
Start with Beijing, the capital clock, at Asia/Shanghai. China is listed under Asia. Open a city when its timezone or its gold market differs.
Is XAUUSD priced in CNY?
No. XAUUSD is priced in US dollars per troy ounce. People in China often fund accounts in Chinese yuan (CNY), then the broker converts. The gold quote itself stays in dollars.
Are China signal results published here?
No. Buyndsell does not publish a win rate, a follower count, or a verified desk in any country yet. City pages are session clocks and education.
