What moves the price of gold?

Gold is priced in US dollars, so a weaker dollar usually pushes the gold price up. Lower real interest rates, inflation worries, central-bank gold buying, geopolitical tension and strong jewellery demand from India, China and the Middle East also support prices, while rising rates and a strong dollar tend to weigh on them. The all-time high in our data is $5,020.00 per ounce (Feb 15, 2026).

Spot price vs. what you pay

Coins, bars and jewellery are sold at a premium above the spot price to cover minting, distribution, dealer margin and — for jewellery — making charges and taxes. When you sell, dealers usually pay slightly below spot. Compare premiums on our buy gold pages and calculate the value of your items with the gold price calculator.

Many investors hold a modest share of their portfolio in gold for diversification. This site does not give financial advice.
