The spot gold price refers to the price of gold for immediate delivery.
The spot gold market is trading very close to 24 hours a day due to the variety of markets around the world that are actively processing gold transactions.
New York, London, Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Zurich are the most popular gold trading locations.
When trading is active the spot price shows the lowest bid and the highest ask of the day.
What is the New York Gold Price?
The
New York Mercantile Exchange (
NYMEX) divisions, the NYMEX Division and the COMEX Division, were formed by the
merger of the New York Mercantile Exchange and the Commodity Exchange, Inc., in 1994.
The trading operations of each exchange were continued as the two divisions, offering
trading in their respective futures and options contracts - energy, platinum, and
palladium for the NYMEX Division; gold, silver, and copper on the COMEX Division
(aluminum was added since the merger). Trading rights on each division are
bought, sold, and leased separately, but there are occasions when
cross-divisional trading privileges in specific markets are granted to the opposite division.
