How to read gold price history
Historical gold prices help put today's quote into context. Compare the period high, low, average and percentage change rather than relying on a single day's move. Local-currency prices also reflect exchange-rate changes, so a rising local gold price does not always mean the international XAU/USD price rose by the same amount.
