Live Gold Prices

The gold spot price is the international benchmark for one troy ounce of pure gold quoted in US dollars. It prints continuously from over-the-counter trading in London, futures on COMEX in New York and physical exchanges across Asia, and serves as the reference for ETFs, central-bank reserves, miners and every physical gold product worldwide.

There is no single exchange that sets gold spot. The deepest pool of liquidity is the London OTC market, anchored by the twice-daily LBMA auctions, complemented by COMEX gold futures (GC) in New York and physical trading on the Shanghai Gold Exchange and in Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Prices roll continuously around the globe, so spot effectively trades twenty-four hours on weekdays.

Gold reacts to a mix of macro and physical-market drivers. The biggest are US dollar strength (DXY), real interest rates and Treasury yields, and inflation expectations. Central-bank reserve purchases, geopolitical tensions, ETF flows and seasonal jewellery demand from India and China also shift prices. Short-term volatility often follows US economic data and Federal Reserve policy decisions.

Spot prices for gold, silver, platinum and palladium (XAU, XAG, XPT, XPD) refresh every 5 minutes during global trading hours. The "last updated" timestamp at the top of the page shows exactly when the figure was captured.

Spot prices come from Yahoo Finance and COMEX futures (GC=F, SI=F, PL=F, PA=F). Macro context (DXY, real yields, VIX) and ETF data (GLD, IAU, SLV...) come from the same upstream feeds. We do not aggregate from third-party trackers.
