The precious metals market trades nearly around the clock across global exchanges in London, New York, Shanghai, and beyond. Gold is the most widely followed of the four major precious metals, prized for thousands of years as a store of value and a hedge during periods of economic uncertainty. Silver, platinum, and palladium combine investment demand with significant industrial use, which often makes their prices more volatile than gold. Together, these metals form an asset class that many investors use to diversify away from stocks and bonds.
Each metal behaves differently. Gold is the classic safe-haven asset and tends to attract buyers when confidence in currencies or markets falls. Silver is both a precious and an industrial metal, used in electronics and solar panels, which gives it a dual personality and larger price swings. Platinum and palladium are rarer still and are heavily used in automotive catalytic converters, so their prices respond strongly to trends in car manufacturing and emissions regulation.
Spot prices represent the cost of one troy ounce for immediate settlement, almost always quoted in US dollars. From this single international benchmark, local prices are derived by applying the exchange rate to the relevant currency. The live rates for 24K, 22K, 21K, and 18K gold shown above are calculated by applying each purity’s fraction to the pure 24K spot price, giving you a quick view of what different qualities of gold are worth.
Start with the gold spot price to get the international benchmark, then scan the purity cards to see what 24K, 22K, 21K, and 18K gold are worth — useful when comparing jewelry of different qualities. The metals strip lets you check silver, platinum, and palladium at a glance. If you want to act on what you see, convert any figure into a unit and quantity that matters to you with the gold converter, estimate an item’s pure-gold value with the purity calculator, or compare local prices on the gold prices by country page.

Gold is the classic safe-haven store of value. Silver is both precious and industrial, making it more volatile. Platinum and palladium are rarer and driven heavily by automotive demand for catalytic converters, so they track industrial cycles more closely.
Copper is the leading industrial base metal and a real-time barometer of the global economy — nicknamed “Dr. Copper.” Tracking it alongside the precious metals gives useful context on industrial demand and risk appetite.
Prices refresh throughout the trading day from third-party market data, cached briefly for performance and to respect our data provider’s limits. Treat them as indicative benchmarks rather than exact dealer quotes.
