A note on the chart
This page shows the live price only. A historical series needs a data source that returns past closes, which the free spot feed powering this site does not provide. Rather than draw an invented line, there is no chart here until a real series is wired in.
What actually moves the price
Gold is priced in dollars, so it moves on real interest rates, on the strength of the dollar, and on how much investors want a store of value they cannot print. When real rates fall, holding a metal that pays no interest costs less, and the price tends to rise.
Central bank buying has been the other large factor of recent years. Jewellery demand, despite being the largest single use of gold, moves the price far less than financial demand does.
Reading a gold chart without fooling yourself
Gold charts are almost always drawn in nominal dollars, which flatters the long run. Adjusted for inflation the picture is less dramatic, and the 1980 peak stood unbeaten in real terms for decades.
For someone selling a ring, none of this matters much. What matters is the price this week against the price last month, and whether you can wait.
Common questions
Does the 14k price move differently from spot gold?
No. 14k is a fixed 58.3% of the fine gold price, so it moves in exact proportion. Any chart of spot gold is a chart of 14k with a different scale.
Is it worth waiting for a better price?
Over weeks, the swing is usually smaller than the difference between two buyers' offers. Getting a second quote is more reliable than timing the market.
