About spot gold

The gold spot price is the live quote for one troy ounce of pure gold for immediate delivery, traded around the clock under the XAU/USD ticker. Most of the world's price discovery happens in the London OTC market and on COMEX futures in New York, with Asian sessions adding overnight liquidity. Spot is quoted in US dollars but converts instantly into any local currency, which is why retail prices in Vietnam, Europe and Latin America move in lockstep with global headlines. The spot price is the benchmark every dealer, refiner and central bank uses to mark inventory, and it is the foundation for every premium you see on a finished bar or coin.

Frequently asked questions

What does XAU/USD mean?

XAU is the ISO 4217 currency-style code that represents one troy ounce of gold, distinct from any national currency. The pair XAU/USD therefore expresses how many United States dollars are required to buy a single troy ounce of pure gold at any given moment. It is the most widely watched gold quote on trading platforms and underlies most spot, futures and contract-for-difference instruments.

Where is gold spot price determined?

There is no single exchange that fixes the gold spot price. The deepest pool of liquidity is the London over-the-counter market, anchored by twice-daily LBMA auctions, and complemented by COMEX gold futures 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 a day on weekdays.

Why does gold spot move?

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