What Is The Current Price of Gold?
As gold prices fluctuate around all-time highs, more and more people are interested in monitoring gold prices to see just how high it will go. Whether it’s out of curiosity, monitoring an investment, or you’re considering selling your unwanted gold for cash, recent record gold prices are a matter of international interest.
Current Price of Gold: $2,300.90
The price of gold above is updated every two hours to reflect current market rates. The value shown is 1 troy ounce in US Dollars (USD).
Gold Prices Based on Purity
For investment purposes, almost all gold is sold as 24 karat (24k) pure gold, meaning it’s composed 100% of gold. This means if you have any gold bars or gold coins, it’s likely they are made up of 24k gold.
Jewelry, however, is frequently mixed with metal alloys to make it stronger and more resistant to wear and tear. Wearing pure gold just isn’t practical. Most jewelry is mixed with something like copper, nickel, or zinc, which for all intents are purposes are worthless. So when you’re trying to figure out the value of your gold jewelry, you need to understand how much of it is composed of gold, and how much is made of other alloys.
When jewelry is melted down, it’s separated into alloys and gold. Gold buyers, including us here at Cash for Gold Mailer, are paying you for the amount of gold that is left after processing. That percentage of gold is represented as karats (22k, 18k, etc), which is a proportion out of the maximum 24k. So 18k gold is 18k/24k, or 75% gold.
While we use an XRF Analyzer to pinpoint the exact purity of your gold to insure accuracy, it’s expensive equipment. Luckily, most jewelry is marked with its purity, so if you find the marking you can estimate the value of your gold.
The intrinsic value of gold jewelry is then proportional to the karat measurement. To demonstrate this, you can see the value of 1 troy ounce of each:
- 24k 1 troy ounce: $2,300.90
- 22k 1 troy ounce: $2,109.93
- 18k 1 troy ounce: $1,725.68
- 16k 1 troy ounce: $1,532.40
- 14k 1 troy ounce: $1,346.03
- 10k 1 troy ounce: $959.48
Of course, there is more processing involved on gold jewelry when compared to investment-grade gold coins and bullions, so you can expect a lower offer from gold buyers for lower purities.
Ounces vs Troy Ounces
Understanding standard ounces versus troy ounces can be confusing to anyone new to precious metals. Even for experienced investors, it still defies logic a bit. “Troy weights” are an antiquated measurement system that has stuck around in the precious metals business for whatever reason, just as people insist on stubbornly sticking to Fahrenheit instead of switching to Celsius.
The system goes back to the middle ages, originating in the city of Troyes in what is now France (not the Troy of hollowed-out horse fame). What’s important to understand is that 1 troy ounce = 1.09714286 ounces. The price you see above, and quoted whenever people talk about the price of gold, is priced in troy ounces.
In other words, there is about 10% price differential if you’re measuring in standard ounces instead of troy ounces. If you’re measuring in ounces, you’ll subtract 10% from the weight to calculate the value of your gold. On your scale, if it shows 1 ounce, it’s more like 0.9 troy ounces.
Highest Price of Gold
As of writing this on April 18th, 2024, the highest price of gold ever was achieved just last Friday the 12th when gold reached over $2,400 per troy ounce. We’ve come off those highs just a little bit now, but with prices so close and an uncertain future, more highs could be coming.

What Factors Influence the Price of Gold?
Why gold prices move up and down isn’t an exact science, but there are a lot of factors that influence price movements. Here are a few items that may cause gold prices to change:
- Supply and Demand: Like any commodity, the fundamental law of supply and demand plays a significant role in determining the price of gold. Factors affecting the supply of gold include mining output, central bank sales, and recycling of existing gold. On the demand side, factors such as jewelry consumption, industrial use, investment demand, and central bank purchases all influence the overall demand for gold.
- Inflation and Deflation: Gold is often viewed as a hedge against inflation, as its value tends to rise during periods of high inflation or currency depreciation. In the current global economic climate (2024), the world is dealing with high inflation (caused by a combination of government spending during COVID, corporate greed, and other factors, depending on which news channel you watch). With inflation high and not coming down as fast as politicians and economists had hoped, it effectively means dollars are losing their value. In these situations, people prefer a commodity with a more stable supply to hedge against this dollar devaluation, so they buy more gold. This is a major reason for the recent increases in gold prices.
- Interest Rates and Monetary Policy: The price of gold is inversely related to interest rates, meaning that when interest rates are low, people feel better about investing in gold since they wouldn’t be earning a lot in interest otherwise. Changes in monetary policy, such as quantitative easing or tightening by central banks, can also impact the price of gold by influencing inflation expectations and currency values. What makes it a bit confusing is that interest rates and monetary policy are set, most notably, to fight inflation. The US Federal Reserve anticipated 3 rate cuts in 2024 because they thought inflation was coming under control and wanted to improve growth, but inflation has stayed higher than expected, causing policy uncertainty.
- Currency Movements: Since gold is traded globally in US dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates can have a significant impact on its price. A weaker US dollar typically leads to higher gold prices, as it makes gold more affordable for holders of other currencies. Conversely, a stronger dollar tends to depress gold prices.
- Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainty: Geopolitical tensions, armed conflicts, and economic crises can create uncertainty and instability in financial markets, leading investors to seek safe-haven assets like gold. It’s tough to argue that recent global events aren’t causing uncertainty and contributing to the increase in gold prices. Events such as geopolitical conflicts (Ukraine, Israel), trade disputes (China), or natural disasters can drive up demand for gold and contribute to price increases.
- Market Sentiment and Speculation: Investor sentiment and speculative activity in financial markets can also influence the price of gold. Bullish sentiment or increased speculation about future price movements can drive demand for gold, pushing prices higher. Conversely, bearish sentiment or profit-taking by traders can lead to price declines.
- Central Bank Policies: Central banks play a significant role in the gold market through their gold reserves and purchasing activities. Central bank purchases or sales of gold can affect the supply-demand dynamics and sentiment in the gold market, influencing prices accordingly.
- Technological and Industrial Demand: Gold is not only used for investment and jewelry but also has various industrial applications in electronics, dentistry, and aerospace. Changes in technological advancements or shifts in industrial demand can impact the overall demand for gold and its price.
While there are plenty of factors that can influence price, the prevailing headwinds for gold in 2024 are inflation, interest rates, global conflicts, and economic uncertainty. These variables certainly are related, but there are a lot of reasons for individuals, companies, and even governments to be seeking safe-haven assets this year.
That isn’t to say that the price of gold will definitely continue to rise. Many people are calling it to continue higher (we’ve even seen predictions for $3k this year), but a lot of these factors are already accounted for in the historically high prices. If inflation starts to ebb, global conflicts stabilize, and the Federal Reserve starts lowering interest rates as planned, we could see prices drop.
When is the Best Time to Buy or Sell Gold?
Lots of people like to speculate on whether gold prices are going to increase or decrease. Goldbugs – people who are enthusiastic about gold investments and you’ll often here “gold always goes up” from – love to buy physical gold and are constantly checking the value of their stash. At the moment, they’re probably pretty happy based on recent price movements.
On the other hand, more traditional investors prefer a portfolio that is more focused on equities, which have outperformed gold and precious metal investments historically.
That said, gold can be part of an intelligent investment portfolio as a hedge against economic uncertainty, inflation, or poor equity performance. Discuss with your financial advisor if gold is a useful investment for your situation, and whether you should be buying more or selling some to keep an appropriate balance.
As far as whether it’s smart or buy or sell gold right now as a speculative asset? It’s impossible to say. No one can predict the future, and a lot of tension and uncertainty is already accounted for in the current price.
At Express Gold Cash, we aren’t here to advocate for accumulating more gold or selling all of your gold – our goal is to provide you with the best price and an exceptional experience when you decide to sell your gold, silver, platinum, or other precious metals.

This is the only place I feel comfortable sending my jewelry. No cost to get the jewelry to them or back from them. They supply all the shipping material. If you are concerned about sending your jewelry through Fed-x, do not worry I have never had any problems. If you do not like their offer, they will send back the pieces you do not want to sell. Those pieces arrive within 2 days after requesting them back. The offers that I accept, payment is in my bank the next day!! You will not find better prices for your jewelry anywhere else. I also like the fact I can email my concerns or gratitude to this business, knowing they will read and respond to them quickly. Love dealing with Demitri and John. They are great!! If I could give them 10 stars, I would!! Please give them a try. You will not be disappointed.read more

Seamless transaction, fast too. They seem much more honest than other places I looked into. I was able to turn my scrap gold of broken rings, including some tiny diamonds into enough cash to re-size the rings I inherited from my mother. I am a very happy customer. They offered me more than double what another supposedly highly reviewed place offered. I got my scrap back from those guys after receiving a ridiculously low offer and finding reviews off site that said they cull their reviews. Then I found Express Gold Cash, and I am sure glad I did!!!read more

A very good friend and I we talking about the jewelry we owned that we no longer wore since we retired from work. She took some of her gold rings, bracelets and necklaces to jewerlry stores and pawn shops to see what they would offer to repurchase the gold. The prices varied drastically jewelry stores the worst. Then because she knew the weight she was selling she asked for a bid from,express gold cash. They we 2 x higher than her best estimate! And she did not have to deal with a snarky dealer. By her experience, I went direct to Express Gold and I had a great experience and felt confident I got a good price.read more

I didn't know where to sell my dental gold so i looked on line and found Express Good. I emailed them, i had a kit sent to me, and it arrived in a matter of day. All the postage was paid for and insured and it was overnight Fed Ex. I followed the instructions, sent it off on a Sunday, and on Tuesday they had my kit. I was told it might take 24 hours but later that same day i heard back from them with a price for my gold. You either except the offer or say no and your items are sent back to you, postage is paid for the return. I was very pleased with the service and how quickly they respond back to me.

I give Express goal five stars because they have always I feel been fair with me when it comes to appraising my items and awarded me reasonable compensation for the items that I send to them. even when I'm not happy with my appraisal amount and I don't feel the amount is reasonable enough for me I can have my items returned to be at any time with no problem and no cost out of pocket.

Greetings inquizative minds?!! I did my homework before choosing Express Gold. I actually declined another company that offer me a ridiculously low amount. Then, same company had the nerve to email me with a much larger amount. Not going to mention the company. I then, received my kit from Express Gold. Rated number 1 by CBS for best price, surveillanced personally, during appraisal. I'm 95 percent happy with my amount received. I highly recommend EVERYONE to save their time searching other Companies. I would definitely use Express Gold again. Extremely professional, speedy recovery for start to finish of the process. Within 4 days, I had my account in my account. Thank you. ?read more

Thank you for the quick service. This was uneventful and an amazing experience. I have no doubt that I was paid fairly as I have sold other pieces at a jewelry store and I have not been paid nearly as much. I will definitely keep you all in mind if I have additional items to sell in the future!!read more

It's nice to have that place you can trust instead of running around trying to get the best deal. I'm getting good deals hereread more

After my mom passed away, she left a mini old rings with tiny diamonds, many of which had fallen out. Also mini pendants in gold chains, some of which were only gold plated and I didn't think I would get very much worth out of them. I was astonished when I was offered $435! The company emailed a shipping label so that was free, I got an email when my package arrived in exactly 24 hours later is when I got my offer. I would definitely do business with them again!read more

So happy I found Express Gold Cash! I had taken my items to a local cash for gold store. The whole experience felt shady so I took my items back. Went online and found Express Gold Cash. Everything was top notch with them. Very professional and easy to work with, not to mention FAST! Plus they offered me over $100 more than the local store did. Save yourself the time (and money!) and start with Express Gold Cash. You will be happy you did.read more

Excellent customer service! John was very helpful and explained a lot of stuff to me. I got a good offer for the silver I sent in (through other research conducted by me, I have discovered that silver is pretty close to worthless) and plan on sending in some gold pieces in the future. Like many people, I selected Express Gold after checking out reviews for the company but don't trust all the reviews out there. I tried a different company before trying Express because it was the first one listed when I typed in my search for the top 10 companies buying gold. The other company scammed me and wanted to play games, and I am still kicking myself for not being more thorough in my research. If you want to get the best price and be treated like a human being, I would strongly recommend sending your gold pieces to Express Gold Cash!read more

First time I have ever sold gold online or anywhere for that matter. Express Gold was so fast in every way.
I sent my kit with my gold and by the morning the next day I got my offer. They listed everything individually so I could see the offer for each item. It was amazing.
I was having second thoughts about even selling my gold but when I think that my gold jewelry has been sitting in a drawer for years never being worn I thought this is stupid just get rid of it and make some extra cash. The price offers were good. I have never been to a local gold buyer to get a offer on my gold so I can not compare but seeing other reviews the local buyers can not come close to what Express Gold offers.
I went with Express Gold to send my gold jewelry by the fantastic reviews they have.
Once I accepted their offer my money was in my account the next morning.
I have a few more pieces that I will be sending to Express Gold.
If you have any questions for them they get back to you immediately.
SHIPPING IS FREE AND QUARANTEED. If you decide you want all or some of your gold pieces back Express Gold will send them back to you Free. You can not go wrong with them.read more

Cashing in gold and silver jewelry was a snap with Express Gold Cash. I just contacted them through email and they sent all the appropriate materials through the mail. Not only that, but they had clear instructions which were backed up with phone contact if needed. On top in? this, the process was quick and I felt no pressure: it was my choice to accept or reject the offer given. Their payment came electronically? promptly. All of this is very professional.read more

As a single parent, things can get tough. Express Gold Cash provided fast delivery of the kit in which I needed to enclose my items, at no cost to me, and quick appraisal of them.

They also want to make sure you are 100% satisfied.read more

I was very HAPPY with how helpful the people were at Express Gold Cash. Fist when I went to their website and signed up for them to send me one of their kits I decided I wanted to know how much they paid for 14k gold and when I called not only did I get the per gram price from them they canceled my order and sent me my kit via FedEx overnight!
Then I called the next morning a little after 10:30 am and I spoke to John the gentleman the took care of me. He was very informative and very pleasant to deal with. He told me he would handle my quote personally and call me back with the hour and to much my surprise he called me back within approximately "15 minutes". I was pleasantly surprised with the amount I was quoted and I accepted the quotem
The AMAZING thing was the very next day the money was directly deposited into my personal checking account!
It was more than "DOUBLE" what I was OFFERED when I took the my 14k gold bangle bracelet to a local place that bought gold items that they could resale not just for scrap weight!
Even though Express Gold Cash advertises they buy scrap the amount of money I received was more than I was offered for my bangle from any local place and considering I called on a Friday and got my quote on Monday and I accepted it and my money was in my account the next day!!! SO the local place I went to would have made a mint off me if I hadn't found EXPRESS GOLD CASH! I've told everyone about them and if I were you I'd call them they will put all your suspicion to rest. Call Them TODAY! YOU'LL be glad you did!read more

It was very fair and next time will set up direct deposit instead of having check mailed. Highly recommend their serviceread more

Demitri Kolokouris was super easy to deal with! I called 6 other diamond buyers even the store I bought my ring from and some of the offers were a littler higher but I decided to use Demitiri because he gave me the honest answers about what my ring was valued at and above all else the max I could expect to receive. He was a no Bu$$s@it kind of guy who obviously knows what he's taking about. If you looking for honesty in an industry that can be daunting to the first time buyer or reseller he gave me the confidence I needed to make the right decision. I would recommend him highly for all matters concerning diamonds and jewelry appraisals!
I'll be back.

Soon after submitting my request for a kit to be mailed to me I was contacted to make sure I received my kit in the mail and if I had any questions. The kit was complete with all the items I needed to securely send my ring to their location in New York. It even listed all the check points that my ring would travel through in order to reach its final destination. Demetri, my contact, reached out to me that my ring had been received and that he would have a quote to me shortly. Demetri was extremely helpful and easy to reach throughout the entire process. Thank you for all you help!read more
