Market guide

Using the global gold benchmark

Follow the international gold benchmark in US dollars per troy ounce and per gram. Compare karats or enter your own weight to estimate the metal value. A global spot quote is not a retail offer: dealer premiums, delivery, making charges and applicable taxes may change the amount you pay.

Compare like for like: the same purity, net metal weight and price basis. Ask for the final amount and a breakdown before buying or selling.

Your questions

Gold price questions for global market

What is today's 24K gold price in USD?

The live price cards above show the latest available 24K spot price per gram in USD. Check the update time beside the market summary; a jeweller's final price may differ.

What is the difference between spot and local prices?

Spot is the international metal benchmark. A dealer's retail offer can include a premium, making charges and applicable taxes. This USD page shows the global spot basis.

How do I estimate buying or selling value?

Choose the karat and net gold weight in the calculator. For buying, add your quoted making charges and applicable tax percentage. For selling, enter a dealer deduction. Results are estimates, not binding offers.

Does the chart show historical local shop prices?

No. It shows historical international gold prices per gram, converted using the current exchange rate. It does not reconstruct past exchange rates, dealer premiums or jewellery prices.

Why can prices remain unchanged over the weekend?

During the weekend market closure, the page keeps the latest available quote. The update label and market status provide context; live updates resume when fresh quotes become available.
