Understanding the gold price — what moves it?
Inflation, rates, geopolitics — the key drivers of the gold price at a glance.
Gold is traded on international markets in US dollars per troy ounce. That yields the EUR price per gram.
Three factors move the price most: real interest rates (lower = gold more attractive), US dollar strength (inverse), and geopolitical uncertainty as a safe-haven driver.
Day-to-day swings are normal. Over the long run, gold preserves purchasing power better than most currencies.
