These interactive charts track gold spot price (XAU/USD) and silver spot price (XAG/USD) across multiple timeframes - from intraday movements to multi-year historical trends. Whether you're an investor, collector, or precious metals buyer, real-time pricing data helps you compare market conditions, identify trends, time purchases strategically, and make informed decisions about buying or selling gold and silver bullion.

Our prices reflect the current spot price plus the premium the mint charges us and a competitive premium based on product type, market demand, and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gold & Silver Spot Prices
What is the difference between spot price and the price I pay for physical gold or silver?
The spot price is the current wholesale market value for immediate delivery of raw precious metals on commodities exchanges. Physical products like coins and bars include a premium above spot price that covers minting costs, manufacturing, distribution, dealer overhead, and market demand. Premiums vary by product - typically lower for larger gold bars and silver bars (closer to spot), and higher for government-minted coins like American Gold Eagles, American Silver Eagles, or limited-mintage collectibles due to their guaranteed purity, recognizability, and liquidity.
How often are gold and silver spot prices updated on your charts?
Our spot price charts update continuously in real-time during active precious metals trading hours (nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days per week). Prices reflect live data from major commodities markets including COMEX (New York), London Bullion Market, and international exchanges. Weekend and holiday gaps may occur when markets are closed, with pricing resuming on the next trading day.
Can I buy gold or silver at the exact spot price from Ploutos Gold & Silver?
Physical precious metals products are priced at spot plus/minus a premium that varies depending on the specific product, current market conditions, supply and demand, and order size. Our online store displays live pricing for all products with transparent premiums clearly shown. Larger orders may qualify for volume discounts. Contact us directly for custom quotes on bulk purchases.
What factors influence gold and silver spot prices?
Precious metals prices are affected by multiple global factors including: US dollar strength, inflation rates, interest rates and Federal Reserve policy, geopolitical tensions, industrial demand (especially for silver), jewelry demand, investment demand, mining supply, central bank purchases, stock market volatility, and safe-haven buying during economic uncertainty.
Is now a good time to buy gold or silver?
Timing precious metals purchases depends on your individual investment goals, risk tolerance, portfolio strategy, and market outlook. Many investors use dollar-cost averaging (buying fixed amounts regularly) to smooth out price volatility. Our charts help you track trends and make informed decisions.
