How is the gold price determined?
Gold is traded worldwide in US dollars per troy ounce (31.1035 grams). The price in euros therefore depends on two things: the gold price in dollars and the euro/dollar exchange rate. Supply and demand from central banks, investors and the jewellery industry set the price; the market is open almost 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday.
