What the dollar ounce means here
Traders in Chicago usually see account funding in US dollar (USD). XAUUSD itself is still dollars per troy ounce. English is the main language locally. This page stays in English so the clock can be compared across countries.
The regulator named for United States is CFTC and NFA. That name is context, not a claim that Chicago has licensed this site.
The CFTC and NFA oversee US retail forex dealers. COMEX gold futures, symbol GC, trade in New York and are not the same contract as spot XAUUSD. Many offshore gold CFDs are not offered to US residents.
CME Group, the company that owns COMEX, is based in Chicago. Its gold futures are still not the spot symbol XAUUSD.
