Where these numbers come from
- Official monthly prices
- World Bank Commodity Price Data (The Pink Sheet), CC BY 4.0. Monthly averages in US dollars per troy ounce. Latest month: September 2026, published October 02, 2026. Refreshed every time the site is rebuilt.
- Live spot price
- A market price feed, refreshed every minute, with its update time shown. No government publishes a live price: spot prices are set by trading on exchanges.
- Daily closes
- Closing prices of COMEX futures, used only for day-by-day changes. They track spot closely but are not identical, and they are market data, not an official source.
- What we never do
- Fill a gap with a guess. If a source is down, the number shows “—” and we say why.
