Exp means expired. Those contracts are expired. The current front month contract for Gold is February 2026. All futures contracts traded are at least 1 month or more in the future. Trading for the December 2025 contract ended in November. There are 2 types of futures contracts 1: Cash Settled 2) Physical Delivery. Gold is Physical Delivery. If you hold Gold after trading ends in November, you would be required to take physical delivery of 100 oz of Gold. Most retail brokers do not allow physical delivery, so they would liquidate your position before that happens. The GC contract is a 100 oz per contract. 1 point up or down is $100. The Micro Gold Futures MGC contract is a 10 oz per contract. 1 point up or down is $10. You want to trade the contract with the most volume and open interest. You can determine that by going to Bar Chart or CME Group. Bar Chart usually defaults to the contract with the most volume. CME group has the calendar for when trading ends and delivery begins. https://www.barchart.com https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/gold.volume.html Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-12-08 17:46:27
