The five major gold banks set the gold market price that day, which has been affecting the transactions between new york and Hongkong.
At present, LBMA implements a 24-hour continuous trading system (OTC trading mode, in which LBMA members make continuous two-way quotations for spot, overnight, swap and inventory leasing varieties of precious metals and trade them in London working days), and the spot fixing price is generated twice a day, namely 10:30 and 15:00 (equivalent to Beijing time18)

(4) Tokyo Industrial Products Exchange
At the end of June 2008, night trading was started, and the trading time was 17:00 to 23:00 (Beijing time 16:00-22:00). Because this trading time does not overlap with COMEX's on-site trading time, night trading has little impact on the overall market trading volume.
(5) The timing of the continuous trading system of the previous period.
Combined with market opinions, the choice of trading time should ensure that futures companies can complete daily settlement normally, and on the other hand, it basically covers the main trading time of the New York Mercantile Exchange gold futures in the United States and the announcement time of spot fixing price of London Gold and Silver Market Association. Therefore, it is proposed to set the trading time of the previous exchange as 2 1:00 every Monday to Friday to 2:30 the next morning.
