About the gold price

Track the live gold spot price and explore how the price of gold changes over time. Compare recent market movements and estimate the value of gold by weight using the spot quotation. Actual retail prices and dealer offers may differ.

How often is this price updated?

Freshness depends on the asset: Gold API reference prices normally update frequently, EIA energy prices are daily spot assessments and World Bank industrial-metal benchmarks are monthly averages. Source observation timestamps are shown. Unlicensed feeds are left unavailable.

What does the chart show?

Charts use real USD observations from the applicable provider. Metal weights convert between their source benchmark unit, grams and kilograms; oil and gas retain barrel and MMBtu units. Historical charts remain in USD to avoid applying today’s FX rate to older periods. Short time ranges may be unavailable for monthly or daily benchmark sources.

Is this the exact price I'll pay?

No. Reference prices are not personalized buy or sell offers. Physical metal prices may include premiums and local taxes. Cryptocurrency execution prices depend on the exchange, order size and fees.
