Methodology
- Prices: weekly close on Friday, USD per troy ounce. Current weeks use spot prices from gold-api.com, recorded after the Friday close. Weeks before Oct 2, 2026 were backfilled from COMEX front-month futures weekly closes, which can differ from spot by a fraction of a percent; the CSV marks the source of every row.
- Index: gold close ÷ gold close for the week ending Oct 3, 2025 × 100.
- Per-gram karat values: gold close ÷ 31.1035 × purity (24k 99.9%, 22k 91.67%, 18k 75%, 14k 58.5%, 10k 41.7%). Melt value only.
- Changes: week = vs. prior Friday; 4 wk and 52 wk = vs. the close 4 and 52 weeks earlier.
- Corrections: email corrections@jewelerstrend.com. See our editorial standards.
