Live Gold Price (XAU/USD)

The live XAU/USD price is the spot US dollar cost of one troy ounce of gold, and it is the reference every calculator on this site uses.

Gold Trading Hours in the Philippines

Gold trades 24 hours a day, five days a week, and the hours that matter most to a Philippine trader are the overlap of the London and New York sessions.

What Moves the Gold Price

Gold is driven by the US dollar, real interest rates, inflation expectations, central-bank buying and safe-haven demand, and those forces interact rather than act alone.

FAQ

Common questions

What actually moves the XAU/USD price?

Gold responds mainly to US real yields, the direction of the dollar, and demand for a store of value when confidence is shaky. Central bank buying and physical demand add pressure over longer stretches. It is quoted in dollars per ounce, so a move in USD/PHP changes what a given move is worth in pesos.

Why is gold quoted around 4275.0 and not in pesos?

XAU/USD is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce, so 4275.0 means about $4,275 per ounce on the reference feed. Your peso result depends on the dollar-peso rate you convert at, which is why two traders in Baguio can see the same gold chart and different peso outcomes.

What are the trading hours for gold in Philippine time?

XAU/USD trades close to around the clock on weekdays, following the international session roll from Asia through London to New York. Liquidity is thinnest in the quiet hours and thickest when London and New York overlap. Check the trading hours page for the mapping to Philippine time.

Does the PSE have anything to do with the gold price I see here?

No. The PSE is the home exchange for Philippine equities, while XAU/USD is an international over-the-counter quote in dollars. Local mining names can react to gold, but they are separate instruments with their own risks and their own trading hours.

Is a 0.01 move in gold large or small?

One pip in XAU/USD is 0.01, so a move from 4275.0 to 4276.0 is 100 pips. Whether that matters to you depends on lot size: at 1 lot each pip is tied to 100 oz, so the same price move produces very different peso results across position sizes.
