FAQ
What does OHLC mean for gold prices?
OHLC stands for Open, High, Low, Close for the day. These values summarize how price moved during a single day.
Is this the exact market close?
Not necessarily. Gold trades nearly 24/5, and different data providers can define “daily close” differently (timing, timezone, conventions). Small differences are normal.
How do you convert gold price per ounce to per gram?
We use 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams. Per-gram prices are derived from the same snapshot and purity ratios.
