Gold Price Charts – Short & Long Term

Gold is a long-term store of value, but prices move every second during trading hours. Our charts allow you to explore price action over different time frames:

  • 24 hours – for short-term moves and intraday trends.
  • 1 week & 1 month – for near-term volatility and news-driven moves.
  • 1 year, 5 years, 10 years – for long-term perspective and trend analysis.

Viewing multiple timeframes can help you decide whether you are buying into a dip, a rally or a longer-term uptrend in the gold market.

Why the Gold Price Matters

The gold price is more than just a number on a screen. It captures the world’s view on risk, inflation, currencies and financial stability. Investors track the gold price because:

  • Gold acts as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.
  • It is a form of crisis insurance when markets are under stress.
  • It offers diversification alongside stocks, bonds and real estate.

Whether you are planning a one-time purchase or building a long-term allocation, knowing the current and historical gold price helps you choose the timing and size of your investment.

Spot Price vs. Your Physical Gold Price

The spot price shown on our gold price page is a reference rate from the global wholesale market. When you buy or sell physical gold, your final price will include a premium or discount based on several factors:

  • Form: bars, coins, nuggets or dust.
  • Purity and brand: 24K (999/999.9) bars, recognised refineries and mints.
  • Quantity: smaller amounts often carry higher premiums per gram; larger orders may qualify for better rates.
  • Location & logistics: storage, shipping, insurance and export/import arrangements.
  • Local taxes & regulations: any applicable duties or compliance costs.

Nile Gold Trading uses the live spot price as the starting point for quotations and then adds or subtracts the relevant premium for your specific transaction.

Gold Price – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the “spot” gold price?

The spot price is the current wholesale trading price for pure gold in international markets. It changes constantly during trading hours and acts as the benchmark used by dealers, refineries and institutions.

Why is my quoted price higher than the spot price?

Physical gold carries premiums for refining, fabrication, logistics and other costs. Smaller bars and coins usually have higher premiums than large bars, and local conditions can also affect pricing.

Which currencies and units can I see?

You can configure the display to show gold prices in major currencies such as USD and EUR, and optionally in UGX. Units can include troy ounce, gram and kilogram.

Can I lock in the price I see on this page?

The live price is indicative. To lock in a trade, you must contact Nile Gold Trading for a formal quote. Your final transaction price will be confirmed at the time of order.
