Gold price per gram and common weights in USD
These are pure spot-gold conversions before fabrication, taxes, dealer margin and local FX; retail jewelry prices therefore differ.

Closed outcomes only—never mixed with open trades.
Public performance counts completed outcomes only. Break-even is separate, and cancelled trades never inflate win rate.

Understand the quote
What does XAUUSD mean?
XAUUSD quotes one troy ounce of gold in US dollars. A rising quote means gold is becoming more expensive against USD. Spot price is not the same as finished retail jewelry because local pricing adds purity, fabrication, tax and currency conversion.
Today’s drivers
Why does gold rise or fall?
Gold does not move because of one indicator. Watch US rate expectations, real yields, dollar strength, inflation, employment, central-bank decisions and geopolitical risk. The headline alone is insufficient; price reaction and liquidity reveal whether the effect is sustained.
