This dated report covers retail gold price in United States for October 2, 2026, including the latest ounce and major purity references.

Understanding the Latest Saved US Reading
A higher saved rate can change the reference point for buyers and sellers, but it does not by itself establish a lasting trend or explain the cause of the move.
Resale proceeds may differ from purchase prices because of the bid-ask spread, testing costs and the liquidity of the specific product.
The latest saved United States reading places 24K Gold (per gram) at $192,72, while Gold Ounce is $5 995,01. The two units are shown together for reference rather than as a retail offer.
For jewellery: request the raw-gold amount and workmanship or fabrication charge separately, so the final price is easier to understand.
Several saved readings can provide more useful context than a single intraday value.
Understanding the local price
The displayed figure is a metal-value reference before product premiums, fabrication, taxes and dealer margins.
Compare like-for-like products by purity, weight, quote time and buyback terms before making a decision.
Gold market context in United States
Retail quotes can reflect dealer premiums, shipping, insurance and state or local sales tax where applicable.
Compare bullion bars, coins and jewellery separately because their premiums and resale conditions are not identical.
How to compare the current reading
Compare the latest figure with an earlier reading from the same source and a similar quote time. Separate the movement in metal value from fabrication charges, taxes and retail margins.
Match purity, weight, product type, delivery method and buyback terms. Bars, coins and finished jewellery may carry different premiums even when their gold content is similar.
What the rates mean for buyers
The table is a market reference expressed in USD, not a binding retail offer. The final price in United States can vary with availability, product premiums, taxes and dealer policy.
Request an itemised purchase quote and a separate resale quote. Confirm net weight, purity, invoice details and any testing or handling conditions.
