Understanding Gold Spot Pricing
The gold spot price refers to the current market rate at which an ounce of gold can be exchanged for instant delivery. This live baseline changes minute to minute based on factors like:
- Global supply and investor demand
- Strength of the US dollar
- Manufacturing/technology needs
- Geopolitical events or uncertainty
While quoted in dollars per troy ounce, the universal spot price determines the cost of any gold transaction large or small in real-time.

Gold Purity Guide
Gold purity is measured in karats, which indicate the percentage of pure gold content vs. alloy metals. Understanding karat levels allows for informed bullion purchases.
24K GOLD
The highest gold purity is 100% pure gold. Too soft for jewelry or coins, 24k gold is generally used for bullion investment bars or rounds.
22K GOLD
22 karat gold contains 91.6% pure gold and 8.4% copper/silver alloy for enhanced durability. Common in certain markets.
18K GOLD
The most popular karat for gold jewelry, 18k gold contains 75% pure gold plus 25% copper and silver for ideal shine and strength.
14K GOLD
More affordable than higher karats, 14k gold features 58.3% pure gold content, which is ideal for everyday wear.
10K GOLD
10 karat is commonly used for more affordable gold jewelry containing 41.7% pure gold.
Alloys like copper, silver, and zinc are added to pure 24k gold to create different karat levels for improved workability and durability. But too much alloy can dull the radiant gold color. The ideal balance of beauty and strength is found in top choices like 18k and 14k gold.
Some examples of alloying formulas to achieve gold color variances are:
- 18K Yellow Gold: 75% fine gold, 15% copper, 10% fine silver.
- 14K Yellow Gold: 58.5% fine gold, 29% copper, 12.5% fine silver.
- 18K White Gold: 75% fine gold, 2 % copper, 17% nickel, 6% zinc.
- 14K White Gold: 58.5% fine gold, 23% copper, 12.5% nickel, 6% zinc.
- 18K Green Gold: 75% fine gold, 25% fine silver.
- 18K Pink/Rose Gold: 75% fine gold, 25% copper.

What is Gold Bullion?
Gold bullion refers to pure gold officially recognized as being at least 99.5% pure and in the form of bars, ingots, or coins. Typically, gold bullion is held by central banks and used for trade on commodities exchanges or between large financial institutions. It is considered an investment-grade asset to store value as gold maintains its purchasing power over long periods.
Common forms of gold bullion include:
Gold Bars
Are produced by refineries or mints in various sizes from 1 gram up to 400 ounces. They may be further classified as cast, hand-poured, or minted bars.
Gold Bullion Coins
These are special commemorative coins made of gold by government mints with a legal tender face value, struck in weights typically ranging from 1/10 oz to 1 oz coins. Popular global gold coins investors desire the American Gold Eagle, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, and Australian Gold Kangaroo.
Gold Rounds
These are similar to coins but without legal tender status and produced by private mints, usually at lower premiums over gold spot price than official gold coins. Come in one-troy ounce and fractional sizes.
Gold bullion remains a popular investment asset due to its historical store of value. It provides portfolio protection against inflation, market volatility, and geopolitical uncertainty.
