About Gold (XAU)
Gold (symbol XAU) is the most widely held precious metal and the market’s benchmark store of value. It is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce — about 31.103 grams — the same unit used by London’s twice-daily price benchmark and futures exchanges worldwide.
Because it pays no yield and carries no credit risk, gold tends to strengthen when real interest rates fall, the dollar weakens, or investors seek a hedge against inflation and geopolitical stress. Central banks hold it as a reserve asset, and demand also comes from jewellery and a small slice of industry.
