Understanding the Gold Spot Price
The chart above plots the LBMA Gold Price, the global benchmark for gold pricing. The London Bullion Market Association publishes this price twice daily (AM and PM fix) based on electronic auctions among accredited market makers. The PM fix, shown here, is the most widely referenced benchmark in the industry.
Spot price represents the cost of one troy ounce of gold for immediate settlement. It does not include dealer premiums, fabrication costs, or shipping. When you buy physical gold from a dealer, you pay the spot price plus a premium that covers minting, distribution, and the dealer's margin.
Use our premium calculator to determine the markup on any gold product, or visit the premium tracker to compare real dealer prices side by side.
