Spot Price Mechanics and Derivatives
The spot price defines the cost for immediate delivery. It derives from active futures contracts and over-the-counter deals. Trading follows a global schedule across New York and London. The troy ounce weighs 31.1 grams.
Futures contracts often trade above the spot price. This condition is known as contango. It covers storage and insurance costs. Backwardation occurs when futures trade below spot, signaling strong demand.
Factors Driving Gold Demand
Gold yields no interest income. High real interest rates act as a headwind for the metal. Falling rates support higher gold prices. Investors weigh these monetary factors against inflation expectations.
Physical bullion trades at a premium above spot. This premium covers fabrication and distribution costs. Small items carry larger premiums than large bars. The market remains sensitive to macroeconomic shifts.
