What moves the gold price
Gold trades around the clock across London, New York, Shanghai and Zurich. Its price reacts to interest rates, the strength of the US dollar, inflation, central bank buying and moments of financial stress, when investors move money into assets that hold value.
For sellers, the practical point is simple: your offer is based on the spot price when we make it, so the number you see in the calculator today is a good guide, not a locked price.
Gold price questions
What is the spot price of gold?
It is the current market price for one troy ounce of pure gold for immediate delivery. Dealers, refiners and buyers price everything from it.
Why is the price per ounce higher than 28 × the price per gram?
Precious metals are priced in troy ounces, which are 31.1035 grams, not the 28.35 gram ounce used for food.
Where does your price come from?
A live commodity market feed, checked every 60 seconds. If the feed stops responding, we show the last good price and say so.
Does the spot price change on weekends?
Very little. Major gold markets close from Friday evening to Sunday evening US time, so weekend prices hold near Friday’s close.
