Live Gold Price Now
The current price of gold streams in the table and the 15-minute chart below, updating tick by tick while the market is open. Gold trades almost continuously from Sunday evening to Friday evening (New York time), so the price you see now is the latest traded level, not an end-of-day figure.
Current gold price (streaming)

International spot equivalents for pure (24K) gold, with no dealer premium, tax or making charge. Karat rows = 24K price × purity. How we calculate
How "live" the live price is
The table and chart pull streaming quotes from TradingView. The ounce price is the OANDA XAU/USD feed, an over-the-counter quote that moves with the interbank market; gram and rupee rows are calculated from live gold and currency feeds, so they move whenever either input moves. During busy periods the price can change several times a second. If the page has been open a long time without refreshing, reload it, and treat any price you see on a weekend as Friday's close.
A live quote is a wholesale reference. A dealer quoting you a coin or bar adds a premium, and a jeweller adds tax and making charges, but both reprice off this same number. Some Indian and Gulf jewellers update their boards once or twice a day, so their rate lags sharp intraday moves.
Reading the intraday chart
Each candle on the chart covers 15 minutes. You can switch to 1-minute or hourly candles from the interval menu, or to a daily view on the gold price chart page, which explains candlesticks, timeframes and moving averages. For intraday purposes, three things matter most: the day's high and low, how far the price has moved from the previous close, and whether a jump happened on a news release (visible as one tall candle) or built up gradually.
Trading sessions and when gold moves
| Session | Approximate hours (UTC) | Typical behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| Asia (Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore) | 23:00–08:00 | Thinner trading; Chinese demand and the Shanghai market can lead moves |
| London | 07:00–16:00 | Deepest physical market; LBMA price auctions at 10:30 and 15:00 London time |
| New York | 12:00–21:00 | COMEX futures and US data; often the most volatile hours |
Hours shift by an hour when the UK and US change clocks. The London–New York overlap, roughly 12:00 to 16:00 UTC, is when volume and volatility usually peak, because most major US economic data lands then. In India this overlap falls in the evening, which is why the MCX gold price can move sharply after Indian jewellers have already set their daily rate.
Scheduled releases that move gold intraday
- US jobs report (non-farm payrolls), usually the first Friday of the month at 8:30 a.m. New York time.
- US consumer price index (CPI), monthly, also at 8:30 a.m. New York time.
- Federal Reserve rate decisions, eight scheduled meetings a year, announced at 2:00 p.m. New York time, followed by the press conference.
- PCE inflation, retail sales, GDP and jobless claims, which shift expectations for US interest rates.
Gold reacts because these numbers change the expected path of US interest rates and the dollar. Hotter inflation or stronger jobs data tends to push yields and the dollar up and gold down; weak data does the opposite. The reaction can reverse within an hour once traders digest the details. For a full guide to the drivers, see gold price news.
Unscheduled moves
Geopolitical events, surprise central-bank statements, large ETF inflows or outflows and sharp moves in the dollar can all move gold without warning. Thin Asian trading or a holiday in London or New York can exaggerate a move because fewer orders sit in the market. A worked example: if gold moves from $4,150 to $4,191.50 in an afternoon, that is a 1% rise, or about $1.33 per gram of 24K gold (41.50 ÷ 31.1035).
