About the gold price
Gold is the benchmark precious metal and the most widely held monetary metal in the world. The spot price quoted here is the price for immediate delivery of one troy ounce of pure (.999) gold, the same reference dealers, refiners and mints use to price bullion and scrap.
What moves the gold price
Gold tends to move on real interest rates, the US dollar, central-bank buying and safe-haven demand during market stress. Because it is priced globally in dollars, a weaker dollar usually lifts the gold price and a stronger dollar weighs on it.

What does the gold spot price mean?
Spot is the price for immediate delivery of one troy ounce of pure gold. It is the wholesale benchmark; physical coins and bars trade at a small premium over spot, while scrap typically sells slightly below spot.
How is the gold price per gram or kilo calculated?
Divide the per-ounce spot price by 31.1035 to get the price per gram, then multiply by the weight you need. The "price by weight" panel on this page does this for grams, kilos, pennyweight, tola and tael automatically.
Where does this gold price data come from?
Live spot comes from a public market feed and historical chart data from exchange futures. Prices are indicative and intended for valuation and education, not for executing trades.
