❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gold price today?+
The live gold spot price is shown at the top of this page and updates every minute during market hours. Gold is traded 24 hours a day, 5 days a week on global commodity markets. The price shown is the international spot price in USD per troy ounce.
What is spot price?+
The spot price is the current market price at which a metal can be bought or sold for immediate delivery. It changes constantly during market hours based on supply, demand, geopolitical events, and currency movements. When you buy physical gold from a dealer, you'll typically pay a small premium above spot price.
What is the difference between gold and silver?+
Gold is rarer and more valuable, traditionally used as a store of wealth and safe haven asset. Silver is more industrial — over 50% of silver demand comes from industrial uses including electronics and solar panels. Both are used as investment assets and can be held in IRAs.
What is a Gold IRA?+
A Gold IRA (Individual Retirement Account) allows you to hold physical gold, silver, platinum or palladium in a tax-advantaged retirement account. You can roll over an existing 401(k) or IRA into precious metals. Companies like Goldco and Birch Gold Group specialise in setting these up.
Why do gold prices change?+
Gold prices are affected by many factors including: US dollar strength (gold usually moves opposite to the dollar), interest rates, inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, central bank buying, and overall investor sentiment. Gold is often seen as a "safe haven" during economic uncertainty.
What is platinum and palladium used for?+
Platinum and palladium are primarily industrial metals used in catalytic converters for vehicles (which reduce emissions). Both are also used in jewellery and as investment assets. Palladium has surged in value due to tightening emissions regulations globally.
