How the Gold Spot Price Works
How the Gold Price Is Set
Gold has no single exchange: banks and dealers buy and sell it almost around the clock across London, New York and Asia. Two prices serve as reference points: the LBMA Gold Price, set in auctions at 10:30 and 15:00 London time, and COMEX gold futures in New York.
Spot Price and the Price of a Gold Bar
Spot is the wholesale price of unallocated gold in London. A bar is a specific piece of metal with its own serial number, and it costs more: the price on this page is not final and does not include the premium or fees. After payment, the price is fixed, including the premium. See gold bars with indicative prices.
Gold Price in Your Currency
Gold is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. Prices in other currencies are converted at published exchange rates, so they move with both gold and the currency. The same year can look very different in dollars, euros or Turkish lira.
