Loading the 30-day gold chart from the live market feed…
The chart draws itself from the same live feed as the numbers above, so it can never show a stale month. Day-to-day moves are normal; what matters when you sell is the live number at the top and a buyer who pays on it.
What does the gold spot price mean when you sell?
Spot is the worldwide trading price for one troy ounce of pure gold, refreshed continuously while markets are open. It is the reference every honest buyer starts from: your item's weight, times its tested karat fraction, times this price, minus the buyer's stated margin.
What separates buyers is whether that arithmetic happens in front of you. At our counters the scale faces you, karat is XRF-tested while you watch, and the offer is built from the same live feed showing on this page. Signed, designer and antique pieces are priced above melt on their own merit.
Estimate before you drive: the gold calculator works by weight and karat, and the per-gram table gives every karat at a glance, both against this same live price.
