About Precious Metals Spot Prices
Spot price is the current market price for one troy ounce of a metal for immediate delivery. These prices are set by major exchanges — the COMEX in the US, the London Bullion Market (LBMA), and the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE).
Precious metals are priced in USD per troy ounce. One troy ounce = 31.1035 grams, slightly heavier than a regular (avoirdupois) ounce (28.35g).

Why Do Prices Change?
- USD strength — Metals are priced in USD; a stronger dollar pushes prices down
- Inflation — Metals are inflation hedges; higher inflation = higher prices
- Industrial demand — Silver, platinum, and palladium have heavy industrial uses
- Central bank buying — Governments accumulate gold as reserves
- Geopolitical events — War, sanctions, supply disruptions move prices sharply
