Understanding Gold Prices

What drives the gold price?

Gold is priced in US dollars per troy ounce on global markets. Key drivers include US Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, inflation data, geopolitical risk, and the strength of the US dollar. When the dollar weakens or inflation rises, gold typically moves higher as a store of value.

24K vs 22K vs 18K — what is the difference?

Karat measures gold purity. 24K is pure gold (99.9%), making it the most valuable per gram but too soft for most jewelry. 22K (91.7% pure) is used for coins and high-end jewelry. 18K (75% pure) is the standard for fine jewelry globally, offering a balance between durability and value.

How to read the spot price

The "spot price" is the current market price for immediate delivery of one troy ounce of gold (31.1035 grams). It is set by global futures markets and changes continuously during trading hours. The price you see above reflects the latest available mid-market rate.

Is gold a good investment in 2026?

Gold has historically served as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. In 2026, demand from central banks, ETF inflows, and geopolitical tensions continue to support gold prices. However, gold pays no yield — it is best viewed as a portfolio diversifier rather than a standalone investment. Always consult a licensed financial advisor.
