When someone refers to the price of gold, they usually refer to the spot price. This metal is considered a commodity and is typically valued by the weight of the pure metal content. Today’s spot price of gold, like all days, is constantly changing according to many variables. However, today’s gold price could also refer to the total percent change of the spot price, as calculated relative to the price at the start of that trading day.
