Frequently asked questions

What is the gold price today per gram?

The gold spot price today is about $126.78 per gram of 24K (pure) gold in US dollars. 22K gold is about $116.13 per gram and 14K about $74.16 per gram.

What is the gold price today per ounce?

One troy ounce (31.1 g) of gold is trading at about $3,943.20 today, based on the COMEX front-month gold futures contract.

Is gold up or down today?

Gold is down today: $26.40 (-0.67%) versus yesterday's close of $3,969.60 per ounce.

Why is the gold price going up or down today?

Day-to-day gold moves are driven mainly by the US dollar, real (inflation-adjusted) interest rates and Federal Reserve expectations, plus safe-haven demand during geopolitical stress and central-bank buying. A stronger dollar or rising yields usually push gold down; a weaker dollar, falling yields or market turmoil usually push it up.

How does today's gold price compare with last year?

A year ago gold was around $4,014.00 per ounce, so today's price is -1.76% versus one year ago.

Why is the price at a dealer or Costco higher than spot?

The spot price is the wholesale price of raw gold. Coins and bars sold by dealers, warehouse clubs and online shops include a premium for minting, distribution and profit — typically 2–8% for bars and more for small coins and jewellery.

How often is the gold price updated?

Prices on AmpXa refresh about every minute during market hours. Gold futures trade nearly 24 hours a day, Sunday evening to Friday afternoon (New York time).
