Live gold prices for European, North American, Latin American and Caribbean markets in euros, pounds, dollars and more.
Europe and the Americas are where gold is most often traded as an investment. Bars, coins and exchange-traded products are the main way people buy it, while jewellery plays a smaller part than in Asia or the Gulf. Prices are usually quoted per troy ounce, which is about 31.1 grams, or per gram for smaller purchases. Our country pages show both.
Many European countries share the euro, so their gold prices in euros are the same before taxes. The United Kingdom, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and several central and eastern European countries have their own currencies, and the United States, Ecuador and El Salvador use the dollar. In Latin America, currency moves can be large. In Argentina and Venezuela especially, the local price depends heavily on which exchange rate applies.
Jewellery karats are generally lower than in Asia and the Gulf. 18K is common in much of Europe and Latin America, 14K is popular in the United States, and 9K and 18K are widespread in the United Kingdom. Taxes also differ. Investment gold is treated differently from jewellery in many countries, so the final price depends on what you buy.
Below you can compare the spot-based value of 24K gold per gram in each local currency. Open any country for karats, units and the larger cities such as London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Toronto, Mexico City and São Paulo. Remember that dealers add a premium to the spot price, which is usually larger on small bars and coins.
