About Gold
Gold is the benchmark precious metal, traded globally as a store of value, inflation hedge, and reserve asset by central banks. COMEX gold futures (GC) settle in US dollars per troy ounce and react to real interest rates, the US dollar, and macro risk sentiment.
About the Gold market
Gold is held as a store of value by investors and central banks and is used in jewellery and, in smaller amounts, in electronics. Its benchmark US futures contract is Gold Futures on COMEX, part of CME Group, under the product code GC. One contract covers 100 troy ounces and is quoted in US dollars and cents per troy ounce. The contract is physically deliverable, and delivered gold must assay to a minimum of 995 fineness.
Because gold pays no income, its price tends to respond to interest rates and to the US dollar: higher real yields and a stronger dollar have generally weighed on it, and the reverse has supported it. Demand for safety during financial or political stress, buying and selling by central banks, flows into and out of gold-backed funds, and jewellery demand in large consuming countries also move the price. Mine supply changes slowly, so shifts in demand usually matter more in the short run.
