Gold is bought and sold in a wide range of forms, quality, delivery locations, forward time conditions and types of transactional exchanges, producing very different prices at any one time. Most common gold price reporting is for commercially standard, pure .999 fine bullion bars in kilogram or larger bar sizes. Commodity exchanges like the COMEX report previous transaction prices to the public on a 5-15 minute delayed basis. Actually, Current Gold Prices are the two price levels where traders are most actively making a market, which represent where those are willing to buy versus sell. The best value for a Current Price of Gold is the nominal price between those prices on an active high volume marketplace for immediate delivery, which is most commonly referred to as the spot price of gold. Gold prices are recorded over time as comparison, and charted to suggest trends and overextended price moves. Besides the current gold price, how it compares to a previous day’s final price and average of previous spot prices are frequently monitored.

Gold’s unique properties make it indispensable in a wide range of uses, such as electronics, medical applications, jewelry and gold plating. As both an industrial commodity and the world’s truest money having intrinsic value, gold has three primary factors that influence its price. First, jewelry and industrial demands deviate significantly with economic cycles, as can the supply of the commodity from mining and scrap recovery. Secondly, changes in central bank ounces in reserves (government stockpiles) do play a major role, though at times more emotionally on markets than its relative magnitude would otherwise impact supply and demand. Third, and potentially the most significant factor, is the demand by private investors and investment funds at relative price levels, which is largely affected by economic issues and geopolitical uncertainty. Foremost, the desire for gold as money, call it a hedge or a store of wealth, is highly impacted by a nation’s real interest rates, which is nominal rates earned less inflation. Currently, as inflation is feared to creep up in many countries, and sluggish economies imply lagging interest rates, it is largely envisioned that low or negative real interest rates will foster greater desire for gold, and thus, higher prices.
