Recent gold price behaviour
GoldRates price signal
↑ Positive
Bullish for gold
These inputs do not receive equal influence. GoldRates gives more weight to relationships that held up better in historical testing.
What do the two readings mean together?
Price momentum
Gold price momentum is strong. Recent price behaviour is clearly positive.
Broader market conditions
Current conditions show a slight upward lean for gold, but the supporting signals are limited.
How to use both readings
Recent gold-price behaviour remains positive, but the broader market backdrop is not giving it strong confirmation. In practical terms, price momentum is stronger than the current macro support behind it.
How has this model performed?
Historical testing is kept separate from the live GoldRates record so the original validation result is never rewritten.

Gold Value Calculator
USD
How much is my gold worth?
Add different gold holdings and calculate their combined value using the current listed rate for each selected karat.
Estimated Gold Value
Ready to calculate
Add your holdings above, then calculate the combined value.
Uses the current listed GoldRates price for each selected karat. Weight units are converted to grams only. Karat prices are not calculated from the 24K rate. Jewellery premiums, making charges, gemstones, taxes and dealer margins are not included.
Gold Purity Guide
What does each gold purity mean?
Karat tells you how much of the metal is pure gold. Higher karat means more gold content; lower karat usually means more alloy and greater durability.
24K
99.9% pure gold
Highest common purity. Best suited to investment bars and coins, but softer for everyday jewellery.
22K
91.7% pure gold
High gold content with added strength. Common in traditional and high-value jewellery.
21K
87.5% pure gold
Slightly more alloy than 22K. Common jewellery purity in several Middle Eastern markets.
18K
75.0% pure gold
More durable because of higher alloy content. Common in fine jewellery designed for regular wear.
What should I know?
Purity affects gold value per gram. Jewellery prices can also include making charges, design premiums, gemstones and dealer margins.
