Gold / US Dollar · Metal · live quote updated every 5 seconds
XAU/USD is spot gold priced in US dollars, the market's benchmark safe-haven asset. Its biggest driver is real yields: when inflation-adjusted US Treasury yields fall, non-yielding gold usually gains, and vice versa. The US dollar, Federal Reserve policy, inflation expectations, geopolitical risk and central-bank buying all feed into price, and gold tends to rise during uncertainty and when the dollar weakens. Liquidity and volatility are highest during London and New York hours, when Western institutional flow is strongest. On ForexR you can track the live gold price, use daily pivot points to frame intraday support and resistance, measure the metal's often sizeable range with ATR, and confirm trend on the multi-timeframe chart.

Real US yields are the primary driver, alongside the US dollar, Fed policy, inflation expectations, geopolitical risk and central-bank demand. Gold usually rises when real yields fall.
Gold is most active during London and New York hours, when Western institutional flows and US data drive the largest moves.
Gold holds value independent of any single government or currency, so investors tend to buy it during uncertainty, inflation fears or dollar weakness.
