XAU Live priceWhat is Gold
Gold is the best-known precious metal and a store of value that has been treasured for thousands of years. It is held by individuals, funds and central banks alike.
Its price tends to rise when interest rates and the dollar fall, when inflation is high, or when investors are fearful, because gold pays no yield but holds its value when other assets wobble.
Beyond investment, gold is used in jewellery and electronics, but it is its role as a safe haven and inflation hedge that drives most of its price moves.
