Gold price in the USA for Thursday, 12 November 2026 — the live international spot price in US dollars, loaded fresh on every visit.

How this price is set
The world gold price — the spot price — is set in US dollars per troy ounce by the global market, and it moves through the trading day. This page fetches that live price on every visit. The weight conversion is fixed: 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams — so the per-gram price is the ounce price ÷ 31.1035.
Why US shop prices are higher
The figures on this page are the spot price — the raw metal value that dealers themselves trade near. A US dealer sells coins and bars above spot: that premium covers minting, shipping and the dealer's margin, and it is wider on small coins than on large bars. Jewellery carries far larger retail markups, and many states also charge sales tax on bullion or jewellery. Expect the price you pay to sit above the spot price here — the gap is premium and charges, not extra gold.
Gold price in the USA — common questions
What is the gold price in the USA today?
The live spot price is $3,944.20 per troy ounce ($126.81 per gram) for 24K gold. Dealer prices are higher because a premium is added over spot.
What is the premium over spot?
It is the amount a dealer charges above the metal's spot value — for minting, distribution and profit. Premiums are smallest on large bars, bigger on one-ounce coins, and biggest on small or collectible pieces. Comparing the premium, not just the total price, is how buyers judge a deal.
What is the difference between 24K and 22K gold?
24K is 99.9% pure gold — used for bars and investment coins. Most US jewellery is 14K or 18K (14/24 or 18/24 of the 24K price before markups), because pure gold is too soft for daily wear; 22K (91.6% pure), shown in the table at $3,615.52 per ounce, is used for some coins and high-purity jewellery.
Why does the price change every day?
The spot price moves with world markets — interest-rate expectations, the strength of the dollar and demand for a safe store of value. This page fetches the live price on every visit.
