Spot gold price definition
The spot gold price is the current market price to buy or sell gold for immediate delivery, quoted per troy ounce in US dollars. It reflects what gold is worth right now rather than at some future date.
Set continuously across global over-the-counter markets as buyers and sellers trade, the spot price forms the reference point for most gold products, including bullion, exchange-traded funds, and Gold CFDs. It shifts through the trading day with supply, demand, and currency moves.
The cousin is the gold futures price, the agreed price for delivery on a set future date. Futures usually trade at a small premium or discount to spot because they include carrying costs such as storage and interest, so the two prices track each other closely but rarely match exactly.
Spot gold price Example
You check the spot gold price and see gold quoted at USD 2,350 per troy ounce. That figure is the price for immediate settlement at that moment.
If the spot price later moves to USD 2,380, the change is: 2,380 - 2,350 = USD 30 per troy ounce
These prices are illustrative.
