Axi publishes "from" spreads, not averages: EUR/USD from 0.68 pips and gold from $0.16 on Standard (no commission), and EUR/USD from 0.0 pips and gold from $0.09 on Premium, plus $4.50 round trip. BTC/USD is quoted from $12 per lot and ETH/USD from $1.25 per lot on both. Axi says spreads vary with the time of day and market conditions.
Published spreads by account
From Axi’s Standard vs Premium article, checked 31 October 2026:
| Instrument | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | From 0.68 pips | From 0.0 pips |
| Gold (XAU/USD) | From $0.16 | From $0.09 |
| BTC/USD | From $12 per lot | From $12 per lot |
| ETH/USD | From $1.25 per lot | From $1.25 per lot |
| Commission | None | $4.50 round trip |
“From” means the tightest spread Axi quotes, not what you’ll pay on average. Axi doesn’t publish average spreads on the pages we read. Premium is only offered to residents of selected Asian countries: see Axi account types.
Standard or Premium: a worked comparison
On one standard lot (100,000 units) of EUR/USD, a pip is worth about $10:
- Standard at its minimum 0.68 pips: about $6.80 in spread, no commission.
- Premium at 0.0 pips: $4.50 commission (round trip) plus whatever spread is quoted at the time.
So Premium is cheaper whenever its live spread plus $4.50 comes to less than Standard’s live spread. Both figures move, so compare them on your own pairs and hours. Background: spread basics, pips.
When spreads usually widen
Axi says spreads vary with the instrument, the time of day and economic or market conditions. It doesn’t publish a timetable, but its Higher Margin Requirement article names the periods it treats as high risk:
- around the weekend market close;
- around the daily session open and close (the rollover);
- around major data releases such as NFP, CPI and interest-rate decisions.
Those are also the hours when spreads across the market tend to be widest, so check the live spread before trading them. See news trading.
