Live gold price (XAU/USD)

The spot gold price is the reference for every XAU/USD trade, and the number you can actually trade at depends on the spread and the broker's feed.

Gold trading hours in UAE time

Gold trades 24 hours a day, five days a week, and the window you choose changes both the liquidity you get and the spread you pay.

What moves the gold price

Gold is driven by the US dollar, real interest rates, inflation, central-bank buying and safe-haven demand, and those forces often pull in different directions at once.

FAQ

Common questions

What does the reference price of 4275.0 on this site represent?

The 4275.0 figure is a reference price for XAU/USD used to anchor the examples and calculators on this site, not a live quote. Your broker's price will differ because it reflects its own liquidity and markup. Use it to sanity-check a calculation, and always read the live bid and ask from your platform before trading.

What actually moves the gold price during a UAE trading day?

Gold moves on the US dollar, real interest rate expectations, central bank demand and safe-haven flows, and it reacts to US data releases and Federal Reserve communication. In UAE hours the market often reacts to European and US sessions rather than local news. None of these can be predicted reliably, which is why risk framing matters more than forecasting.

Is gold quoted in dollars only, or can I think in AED?

XAU/USD is quoted in US dollars per ounce, so the price you see is in USD regardless of where you trade from. Your profit or loss is realised in USD and converted by your broker or bank, so the AED value depends on the conversion rate applied. Plan in USD and convert for reporting, not the other way round.

How much does one pip of movement matter on a standard gold lot?

On XAU/USD one pip is 0.01, and a standard lot is 100 oz, so each pip of movement is a defined dollar amount per lot. The pip value calculator turns that into your size. Because gold can travel many pips in a session, position size is what keeps a normal swing from becoming an outsized loss.

Does the gold market here include physical bullion in the UAE?

No. This site covers XAU/USD, the spot gold contract traded against the US dollar, not physical bullion or local retail gold pricing. The two are linked but not identical: spot pricing, dealer premiums and local making charges are separate things. If you are buying physical gold, the calculators here only inform the spot leg.
