The troy ounce
Precious metals are weighed in troy ounces of 31.1035 g, heavier than the everyday ounce of about 28.35 g. "Fine ounce" always refers to the weight of pure gold: a 22-carat Krugerrand weighs 33.93 g but contains exactly one fine ounce.
Spot price in dollars and euros
The spot price is set in US dollars on the London and New York (COMEX) markets. The euro price is the dollar price divided by EUR/USD: 4,141.80 USD ÷ 1.13 = 3,681.17 EUR. When the dollar strengthens against the euro, gold becomes more expensive for buyers in Germany even if the dollar price is unchanged. See the gold price chart for the longer-term trend.
Fractional sizes such as half, quarter and tenth ounces exist, mainly as coins, and carry higher premiums per gram. Use the gold calculator to convert between ounces and grams.
