Purity is what separates these four rows. 24K is essentially pure bullion (99.99%) and is too soft to wear day to day, so it mainly serves as the reference price for bars, coins, and scrap valuation. 22K (91.67% gold) is the global jewelry standard, 21K (87.5%) is the norm across the Gulf, and 18K (75%) — alloyed with more copper or silver — trades the purity discount for durability, which is why it's common in rings and pieces worn daily. The lower the karat, the more of the metal is non-gold alloy, and that alloy mix is also what produces rose gold and white gold from the same base purity.

Day to day, this line moves on a mix of global and local forces. Globally: the strength of the US dollar (gold and the dollar usually move inversely), real interest rates (gold pays no yield, so it competes directly with bonds), inflation expectations, and geopolitical risk all push the international spot price up or down. Locally, if you're outside the US, the USD/USD exchange rate matters just as much — a weakening local currency raises the local gold price even when the dollar spot price hasn't moved at all, and a strengthening one does the opposite. A steep or choppy 30-day line usually reflects one of those forces shifting quickly, not random noise.

Every currency page above shows the same underlying international price, just converted at that currency's live USD exchange rate — gold itself isn't priced separately per country. Beyond the gram, trade units vary by region too: a tola (11.6638 grams) is the standard unit across Pakistan, India, and much of the Middle East, a troy ounce (31.1035 grams) is what international markets quote, and bulk buyers typically deal in kilograms. If you're ready to act on a price rather than just track it, the scrap gold calculator converts an item's weight and karat into today's melt value, the ROI calculator shows what a past purchase is worth today, and you can set a free price alert in the sidebar to get emailed the moment gold crosses your target.
