Gold sold off sharply.
Oil prices retreated.

D Prime Trading Volume Report June 2026 Reaches USD 122.27 Billion
In June 2026, D Prime recorded total trading volume of USD 122.27 billion, representing a 10.89% decrease from May.
Average daily volume reached USD 4.076 billion, marking a 7.92% month-on-month decline.
The drop reflected a clear shift in market conditions. As geopolitical risks eased and monetary policy expectations tightened, overall trading activity cooled from the previous month.
A Peace Breakthrough Changes the Market Mood
June marked a major turning point for global capital markets.
On June 17, the United States and Iran formally signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, bringing a phased easing to the nearly four-month Strait of Hormuz crisis.
The impact was immediate.
As geopolitical tensions cooled, WTI crude oil fell sharply from around USD 105 per barrel in May to approximately USD 70 by the end of June. The geopolitical risk premium that had supported oil prices began to fade.
For markets, this changed the mood.
Energy pressure eased.
Safe-haven demand softened.
Risk pricing started to adjust.
Fed Policy Keeps Traders on Alert
While geopolitical risk eased, monetary policy remained a key driver.
Newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh presided over his first FOMC meeting on June 16 to 17. The Committee voted unanimously to keep the federal funds rate unchanged at 3.50% to 3.75%.
However, the dot plot continued to signal at least one rate hike within the year.
At the same time, May CPI came in at 4.2%, while sticky inflation and strong employment data reinforced tightening expectations.
The result was a firmer US dollar and higher Treasury yields.
That combination weighed on overall market activity and placed pressure on gold.
Gold Faces Its Sharpest Monthly Drop of the Year
Gold came under significant pressure in June.
The XAUUSD market opened the month at around USD 4,538 per ounce and touched its monthly high of USD 4,539 per ounce on June 1.
From there, prices entered a sustained decline as safe-haven demand faded and both the US dollar and Treasury yields moved higher.
Gold fell to a monthly low of USD 3,975 per ounce on June 24, marking the lowest level of 2026 so far, before closing the month at around USD 4,008 per ounce.
The overall decline of approximately 11.7% made June the steepest monthly drop of the year.
Despite the sell-off, XAUUSD remained the top-traded product, supported by strong volatility and active market participation.
D Prime Top Traded Products in June 2026

Meanwhile, NAS100 recorded the largest increase in trading volume, rising by approximately USD 0.923 billion, supported by sharp market swings across the Nasdaq during the month.
GBPAUD stood out as the fastest-growing product, with trading volume surging 285.02%.
