XAU arbitrage explained

Right now Gold (XAU) trades on 9 venues we scan: 9 perpetual markets, 0 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Variational perp at $4,108.55 and the highest bid on Gate perp at $4,111.92.

The widest XAU perpetual spread is between Variational and Gate: long XAU on Variational at $4,108.55 and short on Gate at $4,111.92 for +0.08% gross, or -0.08% after the 0.16% two-leg fee model. No transfer is needed: both positions stay on their exchanges until the prices converge. The funding difference on this pair is -0.047% per day, which the position pays while it is open.

Small XAU gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.
