What Is the Price of a 1 oz Gold Bar?
The price of a 1 oz gold bar in the UK is shown in the upper right section of this page. The UK price is generally the same as in other markets. The price of a 1 oz gold bar is calculated using three components including the gold price or gold spot price:
- The gold spot price is the price of 1 oz of pure gold that is available for immediate delivery. It is typically determined by the best bid and offer for gold as offered by large bullion banks trading in real-time throughout the world and as provided by data providers such as Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters.
- The weight of gold. The weight of pure gold found in a gold bar that is being purchased. A 1 oz gold bar has 0.999 or 0.9999 parts of pure gold, as such the 1 oz gold bar will weigh a little more than 1 troy oz in weight when impurities are accounted for. Some gold bars can have purities as high as 5 nines or 0.99999 pure. This additional level of refinement can greatly increase production costs and such formats are far more expensive and less desirable to investors.
- The gold price premium. The gold price premium is defined as a percentage adjustment that is added or deducted from the gold spot price value of the gold bar. The gold premium of a gold bar is determined by the costs of production, refining, fabrication, minting, and the logistics of making the gold bar available for sale in the UK and in international markets. Gold bar prices are also impacted by the supply and demand in the market and the competitive forces between gold brokers who offer gold bars for sale and the amount of gold that the client is seeking to invest - larger sums commanding lower gold premiums.
The USD is the currency that most commodities, including gold, are priced in around the world. This means that the UK price of gold is determined in part by the exchange rate of USD-priced gold into British Pounds.
In order to determine the gold price of a gold bar (1 oz), simply multiply the spot price of gold by the number of gold troy oz in the gold bar (1 oz) and add or subtract the current premium for that gold bar.
