Price and premium

Price discovery is crucial for any market. Gold not only has a spot price, but it also has the LBMA Gold Price, as well as several regional prices. The LBMA Gold Price is used as an important benchmark throughout the gold market, while the other regional gold prices are important to local markets.

This data set provides the gold price averages over a range of timeframes (monthly, quarterly, annually) going back to 1978, and in the major trading, producer, and consumer currencies.

As of 18 March 2025, only limited LBMA Gold Price data is available on our website. Historical LBMA Gold Price data has been removed at the request of the ICE Benchmark Administration. If you would like to obtain the historical LBMA Gold Price, please visit here for more information on licensing.
