How to read a price in gold

Priced in Gold is a live quote terminal. The figure on a page is that asset priced in gold. The default unit is milligrams. Switch to grams, ounces, or US dollars. It is free, and there is no login.

A dollar price can rise while the same asset buys less gold. Gold weight is the yardstick here, because a milligram of gold weighs the same now as it did twenty years ago. The dollar does not. When the US dollar in milligrams of gold falls, one dollar buys less gold. That is the dollar measured against gold, not a forecast and not advice.

Search any ticker. The home tape is a short list, starting with the dollar, the S&P 500, and Bitcoin. The large figure follows the unit you have open. The line under it is the same quote in the other yardstick.

The range chips, 1D through 20Y, are the whole chart. There is nothing to pan. Line is one series. Candle is the open, high, low, and close. Both draws two lines.

Both is not gold versus cash. Both lines are the same asset, reset to 100 at the start of the window. One line is its price in gold. The other is its price in dollars.

If the dollar line finishes higher, the asset rose more in dollars than in gold, because gold itself got more expensive. The dollar line is not a pile of cash. Cash, in gold, is the US dollar in milligrams of gold.

This is not the gold price in dollars. A quote here answers how much gold the asset buys. It is not pricedingold.com. It is not a blog, a broker, or a paywall.

Open the S&P 500 priced in gold, Bitcoin priced in gold, Nasdaq 100 priced in gold, silver priced in gold, or the yen in milligrams of gold for the live number.
