Gold is quoted in dollars per troy ounce, a unit of 31.1035 grams. The symbol XAU/USD shows how many dollars an ounce of gold costs on the spot market, the benchmark for banks, jewellers, funds and brokers.
The gold price tends to rise when real interest rates (rates minus inflation) fall, when the dollar weakens and at times of economic or geopolitical uncertainty, because it is used as a store of value. Central bank buying, jewellery demand in India and China and gold ETF flows also play a role.
Conversely, a strong dollar and high interest rates make it more expensive to hold gold, which pays no interest or dividends, and tend to push its price down. US inflation (CPI) and jobs data and Federal Reserve decisions are the most volatile moments.
