Editors · writing on XAUUSD Global since 2026

The XAUUSD Global Editorial Team is a small group of gold traders and writers who research, write and maintain every page on this site. We trade one market, gold against the US dollar, and we write about the things we have had to work out ourselves: how the price is made, when the market actually moves, how to size a position so one bad candle is not the end, and what the Fed, inflation data and positioning reports mean for the chart.

We do not publish signals, we do not recommend brokers or prop firms, and we do not promise returns. Market facts, dates and contract details are checked against primary sources such as CME Group, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Federal Reserve, the LBMA, the CFTC and the World Gold Council, and every article shows its publication date and any update date. Chart illustrations are labelled schematics built from hypothetical data, never screenshots presented as proof.

Individual team members are not named yet; author profiles will be added here as they are published. If you find an error, email info@xauusdglobal.com with the page and the issue and we will correct it and log the change on the corrections page.
