The spot price is the market reference price for immediate delivery of gold, commonly quoted per troy ounce. It changes continuously as trading, interest rates, currencies, inflation expectations, supply, demand and major events affect the market.
How to Read the Tracker
Short-term charts reveal immediate volatility; longer periods add context. The gold-to-silver ratio compares relative metal prices, while annual returns show how gold performed across calendar years.
