Live Gold and Silver Prices

Spot gold, silver, platinum and palladium prices in US dollars per troy ounce, updated through the trading day. Metals are priced in dollars, so the dollar's strength directly affects the price in other currencies.

Why metal prices matter for currency markets

Gold is a traditional hedge against inflation and currency weakness. When the US dollar falls, gold priced in dollars usually rises, and local gold prices in Pakistan, India and the Gulf react to both the dollar move and the local exchange rate.

Because of this, metals and FX are connected: a 1% move in USD/PKR changes the rupee price of gold by roughly 1%, even if the dollar gold price is unchanged.
