About XAU / USD
XAU/USD is the spot price of gold quoted in US dollars per troy ounce, discovered continuously in the over-the-counter market between banks and dealers rather than on a single exchange. Spot differs from futures by carrying costs (interest and storage), which is why the two prices track each other closely but not identically. It is the reference rate for jewellers, ETFs and central banks worldwide.
