History of Gold,200 Years gold Price Data

The 2nd London fixing Prices from January 1973 until present

We post this most recent spot gold price to our web site each morning, and use it in our historical gold prices database.


This London P.M. or afternoon fix gold spot price, actually is set during the U.S. morning, about 9:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time.

The London P.M. fix, of all the gold spot prices, is the price at which the world’s largest size gold purchases and sales are accomplished on any given day. This is the one price of gold in U.S. dollars which is quoted daily, and familiarly, around the world.

During the U.S. trading day, we do business based on the latest Comex spot gold price. This is a constantly changing price from the New York markets, and trading goes on until about 2:30 P.M. Eastern time.

When doing gold business with us via this website, we will update all our bullion and portfolio prices based on the current prevailing gold spot price, which is from the Comex market during the U.S. trading day.
