Question 1

Why is there no gold price for a weekend or holiday on /gold-price?

Accepted Answer

Our month table only lists UTC days that have a stored daily row. When markets are very thin or we did not capture a usable snapshot for that UTC calendar day, the date may be absent. That is different from “price is zero.” See Gold price methodology (/gold-price-methodology).

Question 2

Why does the UTC date on /gold-price look “off by one day” from my local time?

Accepted Answer

We key rows by UTC midnight boundaries. Your wall-clock can still be on the previous or next civil date when London/New York sessions roll. The methodology page explains the YYYY-MM-DD rule.

Question 3

Why does the gold calculator differ from a /gold-price daily page?

Accepted Answer

Calculators and per-gram tables prioritize a fresh live snapshot. Each /gold-price/Y/M/D page is one archived summary for that UTC day from the daily table. Different feeds and “close” definitions cause small gaps. Details: /gold-price-methodology.

Question 4

Why might MyGoldCalc differ from Kitco, my bank, or a broker app?

Accepted Answer

Every vendor picks timestamps, eligible trades, and sometimes different contract references. For daily OHLC we document our UTC archive and revision policy on the methodology page—small disagreements are expected.

Question 5

What does a “CSV” or “external” source tag mean on a daily row?

Accepted Answer

It usually means that UTC day was filled or repaired with a controlled import or migration job, not only a single live tick at your local time. We still store one OHLC row per UTC day. Full context: /gold-price-methodology.

Question 6

How much is gold per gram?
