Our gold price data is sourced from the global spot market reference rate XAU/USD, the widely-quoted international benchmark for gold priced in US dollars per troy ounce.
Prices are streamed once per minute during market hours and stored as 1-minute OHLC (open, high, low, close) bars. Longer timeframes are aggregated from this granular data, for example the “1D” view shows the last 24 hours, “1W” uses 30-minute bars, and yearly views use daily closing prices.
The precious metals spot market trades nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (Sunday 5 PM ET to Friday 5 PM ET). During weekends and holidays the chart displays the most recent available prices. All times on this page are shown in your local timezone (UTC).
Gold Price FAQ
- How much is 1 kilo of gold worth today?
The gold price fluctuates continuously during market hours. See the live gold price above for the current value per kilo.
- What determines the gold price?
Gold prices are primarily driven by US Federal Reserve monetary policy, real interest rates, and US dollar strength. When real rates fall or the dollar weakens, gold tends to rise because the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset decreases. Central bank purchases, especially from China, India, Turkey, and Poland, have also become a major demand driver since 2022.
- Why do central banks buy gold?
Central banks hold gold as a reserve asset to diversify away from US dollar and euro holdings. After sanctions froze Russian foreign reserves in 2022, many central banks accelerated gold purchases to reduce geopolitical risk. China's PBOC has been one of the largest buyers, adding hundreds of tonnes in recent years.
