Understanding Gold Spot Prices
The gold spot price is the current market price for immediate delivery of one troy ounce of 24-karat (999.9 fine) gold. It's quoted in US dollars and traded 24 hours a day across global exchanges — London, New York, Zurich, Hong Kong, and Sydney.
Spot Price vs. What You Pay
When buying physical gold coins or bars, you pay the spot price plus a premium. This covers fabrication, distribution, and dealer margin. Premiums range from roughly 2–5% for large gold bars to 5–15% for popular bullion coins. See our guide on understanding premiums.
What Moves the Price?
Gold reacts to real interest rates, the US dollar's strength, inflation expectations, central bank buying, and geopolitical risk. Read our deep-dive on what drives gold prices for a comprehensive breakdown.
