The gold price changes frequently. Here you can track the price of gold per ounce for a weekly period. To view the live price of gold click the link.
Track the live gold price and live silver price in the following weights: troy ounce (t oz), grams (g) and kilograms (kg). You can answer questions such as "what is the current price of gold?", "what is the value of an ounce of gold yesterday?", "what was the gold price last week?", "what is the price of gold UK?", "what is the gold oz price?", "what is the gold cost per gram?", "what is the silver price per gram?" or "what is the sterling gold price?". Find answers to your own questions by using the filters next to the graph.
Gold and silver investors tend to use the troy ounce as the unit of measure. For ease, this is abbreviated to "ounce" on the charts but it should be noted that the troy ounce is not the same as the avoirdupois ounce and in fact is 3 grams heavier at 31.1035g. The origin of the troy weight system is unknown although there is speculation that it is linked to Champagne fairs at Troyes in France. A second hypothesis is that the troy system is in fact of Muslim origin by way of the Gold Dirhem. Do get in touch if you have any more information on the source of the weight system as we would like to know more! We offer grams, kilograms and troy ounce as options so you can use the graphs to fit your budget and even the items you wish to buy or sell. Don't forget to use our metal ratios page to compliment the live metal graphs. These will tell you the price of gold.
One of the most requested charts is the chart for the gold price 1 ounce. The gold price per troy ounce can be viewed in a number of different currencies. We give data on the gold price per ounce, the gold price per kilo or the gold price per gram.
We do not always know what influences the gold spot price. Sometimes geopolitics can have a great effect on the market, whilst other times the price stays static. Take a look at our precious metal and coin news section of the website if you are interested in geopolitical stories which could affect the price of gold.
What is the "gold fix" or "gold fixing"? The LBMA "gold fix" occurs twice a day and is a benchmark for the industry. How is the price of gold and silver determined? The price fix is set at 10:30 and 15:00 GMT after auctions between some of the biggest traders in the gold industry. The fix allows for a more streamlined process of buying and selling and is used by gold mines, refineries and central banks. Most retailers and smaller businesses still operate on the live gold price and on this site the price you see for a gold coin or a gold bar at the live current gold rate.
Does gold hold its value? How does gold's intrinsic value change? Using the dropdowns, you can select different times to view the fluctuations in live metal prices on the gold price graph. You can view queries such as "what was the gold price last week?" You are in control and can build the chart that you wish to see. It may also be worthwhile to favourite the graph in your browser so you can come back to it at your convenience. Here at Chards, we cannot be sure what will happen to the price of gold or the price of silver tomorrow or gold in the future. It is common proactive to analyse history and try to make sense of relationships between various drivers such as currency, precious metal ratios (e.g. gold to silver ratio) and world affairs both politically and economically. We hope our graphs and dataset help you to understand gold price going up or gold price going down to reach a better informed decision about the right time to buy gold or silver.
