Which Broker Has the Tightest Spreads? A Look at EURUSD, GBPUSD, and XAUUSD Data

BrokersView has released its February 2026 spread assessment in Singapore, evaluating the average trading costs of major CFD brokers across three widely traded instruments: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and XAU/USD.

The review highlights notable differences in pricing competitiveness among brokers, with some firms delivering significantly tighter spreads than others. Among the brokers tested, Decode Global, AUS Global, and Doo Prime drew particular attention due to their overall performance and positioning within the broader ranking.

1. Decode Global

EURUSD: 11 points

GBPUSD: 12.6 points

XAUUSD: 16.7 points

Its pricing structure appears relatively balanced across all three instruments, without extreme outliers.

2. AUS Global

Among the brokers analyzed, AUS Global delivered the most competitive spreads overall.

EURUSD: 1.7 points

GBPUSD: 8.4 points

XAUUSD: 10.1 points

These results place AUS Global near the top of the February ranking. The broker’s tight EURUSD spread is particularly notable, suggesting strong liquidity sourcing and efficient pricing for forex traders. Meanwhile, its gold spread also remained among the lowest in the comparison group.

Overall, AUS Global stands out as a cost-competitive option for traders focusing on both forex majors and gold.

3. Doo Prime

EURUSD: 11.5 points

GBPUSD: 17 points

XAUUSD: 16 points

The broker’s gold spread performed slightly better than Decode Global, but its GBPUSD spread was notably wider.

Overall, Doo Prime remains competitive in gold trading, but its FX spreads may be less attractive compared with leading low-spread brokers.

EUR/USD Spread Ranking

In the EUR/USD spread comparison, IC Markets recorded the most competitive pricing.

1. IC Markets

Average spread: 1.1 points

Worst spread: 250 points

IC Markets delivered the lowest average spread among the monitored brokers, making it particularly attractive for scalpers and algorithmic traders who rely on minimal trading costs. However, spreads occasionally widened during periods of high market volatility.

2. AUS Global

Average spread: 1.7 points

Worst spread: 137 points

AUS Global ranked second with a tight average spread while maintaining the lowest worst-spread spike among the top brokers, indicating relatively stable pricing during volatile conditions.

3. ACY Securities

Average spread: 8.2 points

Worst spread: 221 points

ACY Securities placed third. While its average spread was wider than the top two brokers, it remains competitive among multi-asset brokers serving global traders.

GBP/USD Spread Ranking

The GBP/USD results also showed strong performance from IC Markets.

1. IC Markets

Average spread: 2.9 points

Worst spread: 171 points

IC Markets again led the ranking with the tightest spreads, reflecting strong liquidity sourcing and competitive pricing.

2. AUS Global

Average spread: 8.4 points

Worst spread: 202 points

AUS Global ranked second, offering relatively consistent spreads across most trading sessions.

3. ACY Securities

Average spread: 10.9 points

Worst spread: 327 points

ACY Securities maintained competitive pricing but experienced larger spread expansion during volatile market periods.

XAU/USD Spread Ranking

1. AUS Global

Average spread: 10.1 points

Worst spread: 190 points

AUS Global secured the top position with the lowest average gold spread and balanced performance between cost and stability.

2. IC Markets

Average spread: 10.4 points

Worst spread: 746 points

IC Markets followed closely in average spread but recorded the largest spread spike, suggesting gold spreads may widen significantly during extreme volatility.

3. Doo Prime

Average spread: 16 points

Worst spread: 20 points

Although Doo Prime’s average spread was wider, its worst spread remained unusually low, indicating relatively stable pricing conditions.

Conclusion

For traders in Singapore and across Asia, spread competitiveness remains a critical factor when choosing a broker—especially for scalping, day trading, and high-frequency strategies, where even small differences in trading costs can significantly impact profitability.
