Gold Price History in USD

This archive breaks gold's price history into monthly reports rather than one page per day, because a single day's closing price rarely tells you much on its own — gold moves in trends shaped by currency strength, interest-rate expectations, and global demand, and those trends only become visible when you can see a full month of daily closes side by side. As of today, 24K gold in US Dollar stands at $149.55 per gram — every month below shows the same figure tracked daily, so you can see exactly how the current price was reached.

Each monthly report gives you four things a single day-of price can't: the month's opening and closing price (useful for measuring net movement), the high and low with the exact dates they occurred (useful for spotting volatility), the average daily price across the month (a more stable benchmark than any single day), and a month-over-month comparison against the prior month's close. Together, these let you answer practical questions like "was gold cheaper last month than this month?" or "when in the last year would have been the best time to buy?" without doing the math yourself.

A common use case is portfolio and insurance auditing: if you bought gold jewelry, coins, or bars on a specific date, you can open that month's report, find the exact daily rate, and compare it against today's price using the ROI calculator. Dealers and appraisers also use historical monthly averages — rather than a single volatile day — as a fairer reference point when valuing older purchases.

Data in this archive starts from January 2025 and is sourced from international spot-market closing rates, refreshed hourly for the current day and locked in permanently once a month completes. If you're comparing against a different currency, use the currency selector in the navigation — every month here is also available in over 40 other currencies, each converted at that month's historical USD/USD exchange rate rather than today's rate, so historical comparisons stay accurate.
