Gold price today, 3 November 2026
Spot gold is at $3,952.77 per troy ounce, +$46.13 (+1.18%) so far in the session. The session has traded between $3,896.09 and $3,968.12.
Gold price per gram and per kilo
At the current spot price, one gram of pure gold is worth $127.08 and one kilogram $127,085. By karat, the pure-metal value per gram works out as:
| Purity | Metal value per gram | Typically used for |
|---|---|---|
| 24k (100.0%) | $127.08 | Pure gold — the spot benchmark itself |
| 22k (91.7%) | $116.49 | Common for jewellery in India and the Gulf |
| 18k (75.0%) | $95.31 | Common for European and US fine jewellery |
| 14k (58.3%) | $74.13 | Common for everyday US jewellery |
These are metal values derived from the spot price, not retail prices. Jewellery and bullion sell above metal value — dealers add fabrication, premium and, in some markets, duty and tax. XAUTicker publishes how retail rates are derived in full.

Where this price comes from
Every price on this site is read from XAUTicker, a live gold and silver ticker that publishes its pricing methodology in full — including how it converts the international spot price into local retail rates, and what it adds for duty, tax and market premium.
We do not calculate or adjust prices ourselves, and we never substitute an estimate when the feed is unavailable. If the feed cannot be reached, this page says so and shows no figure.
When the market trades
Spot gold trades continuously from Sunday 22:00 UTC to Friday 21:00 UTC, with a one-hour settlement break each weekday at 21:00 UTC. Outside those hours the last price is Friday’s close and will not move — that is a closed market, not a broken feed, and this site labels the two differently.

Gold price FAQ
What is the spot gold price?
The price for immediate delivery of one troy ounce of gold, in US dollars — the benchmark almost every other gold price, from futures to jewellery rates, is derived from.
Why is this price different from my dealer's quote?
Spot is a wholesale benchmark. A dealer quotes spot plus a premium for fabrication, handling and margin — and, in some markets, duty and tax — so the price you transact at will sit above the figure on this page. XAUTicker publishes exactly how retail rates are built up from spot.
What time does the gold market open and close?
Spot gold trades continuously from Sunday 22:00 UTC to Friday 21:00 UTC, with a one-hour settlement break each weekday at 21:00 UTC. Outside those hours the price shown is the last close, and this page labels it as a closed market rather than a live figure. Our gold market hours page has the full weekly schedule and a live open/closed status.
What is the gold/silver ratio?
How many ounces of silver one ounce of gold buys — currently 78.7. Traders watch it as a rough gauge of how the two metals are moving relative to each other; the gold to silver ratio page covers the past year's range and what moves it.
How often does this page update?
The price is server-rendered on every visit and, while the market is open, refreshes in your browser every 60 seconds from the same feed. When the market is closed the figure is the last close and is labelled as such.
