Gold price chart

The chart shows the price of one gram of pure gold in the currency you have chosen at the top of the page. Choose a period in the button row above the curve — from one day to the full available history. Below the curve you get the period's lowest and highest price, the average, and a measure of the fluctuations.

Intraday or daily prices

For 1 day and 7 days we plot every five minutes, so you can see the small movements throughout the trading day. For longer periods we use one price per day, which gives a calmer picture of the trend.

The dashed line

The horizontal dashed line is the average price for the period. If the rate is above it, gold is trading more expensively than the period average — a quick benchmark if you're considering buying or selling.

Export the data

The CSV button downloads the shown selection as a semicolon-separated file you can open directly in Excel or Numbers.

A price chart for gold, silver, or other precious metals shows the historical development of a given market price over time, typically based on spot prices from international markets. The chart illustrates the course of the price but says nothing about what the future will bring.

It is important to understand that historical price movements cannot be used to predict future price movements. Charts should therefore be regarded as a historical reference tool and not as a basis for investment decisions or judgments about whether it is 'a good day to sell'.

The live quote is the latest available observation from MetalFlowAPI. The timestamp beside the price shows its age. Quotes can remain unchanged when the market is closed, and a cached quote can be displayed during a data interruption.

Before using a displayed price for an actual transaction, one should always confirm the actual, current price directly with the dealer or platform where the trade is to be carried out, as there can be a significant difference between a displayed price and the price actually offered.

When historical price data is exported to CSV format for further analysis, this often happens after downsampling, where a large number of original data points (ticks) is reduced to a smaller number of representative points, for example one price per hour or day.

A downsampled CSV file is therefore not a complete representation of all original price fluctuations, and brief spikes or dips between the saved points may be omitted. This should be taken into account if the data is used for detailed analysis.

Users should also be aware that different data providers may show slightly different prices for the same point in time, depending on which marketplace or reference source they base their quote on, which further underlines that a chart should be used for overview rather than as the sole basis for a decision.

Finally, one should remember that charts showing percentage changes over a given period can be sensitive to the chosen start and end points, and that a different time interval can easily produce quite a different visual impression of the development without the underlying data having changed.
