Why gold is a store of value
For millennia gold has served as a store of value because it is scarce, does not rust and depends on no government. In times of crisis, high inflation or uncertainty, investors rush to gold, which tends to push the price up — hence its nickname "safe-haven asset". When the economy is strong and rates rise, some of that money moves to yielding investments, and gold tends to pull back.
Troy ounce, gram and the chart

Frequently asked questions
Is the price per gram or per ounce?
Per troy ounce, the standard unit of the international gold market. One troy ounce is about 31.1 grams — for the price per gram, divide the quote by 31.1035.
Is this what I pay at a jeweler?
No. We show the market price of pure gold (24k). Jewelry is alloyed with other metals (18k, 14k), plus labor and margin, so it costs more than the contained gold.
Why does gold rise when stocks fall?
Gold is seen as a store of value in uncertain times. When there is market fear or high inflation, many investors move into gold, which tends to push its price up.
