How to read today's gold rate
Every gold price you see starts from one number: the spot price of one troy ounce of pure gold in US dollars, set continuously by trading in London, New York (COMEX futures), Shanghai and over-the-counter dealer markets. Everything else is arithmetic on top of it:
- Weight. One troy ounce is 31.1035 grams, so the price per gram is the ounce price divided by 31.1035. A tola is 11.6638 grams; a kilogram is 32.15 troy ounces.
- Purity. A 22K item is 91.6% gold, so its gold value is 91.6% of the 24K price. 18K is 75%, 14K is 58.5%.
- Currency. The dollar price is converted at the live exchange rate. A weaker local currency raises the local gold rate even when the dollar price is flat.
- Local costs. Import duty (6% in India), sales tax or GST, dealer premiums and, for jewellery, making charges come on top.

Why the price moves
Gold has no yield, so it tends to rise when real interest rates fall and the US dollar weakens, and when investors want protection from inflation, recessions or geopolitical shocks. Central banks have been large buyers in recent years. Read why the gold price changes every day, follow the live gold news feed, or study the long-term picture on the gold price chart.
