Gold (.999) — 90-day price history

What drives the Gold (.999) market

End-use demand for Gold (.999) sits with jewelry, electronics contacts, and investment products. The supply that reaches yards is driven by jewelry turnover and electronic gold recovery. When jewelry, electronics, and investment products slows or speeds up, posted yard prices for Gold (.999) usually move with it. A typical example of what comes in is old jewelry and dental gold, which yards see across many tickets a week. Recovered material feeds investment products and electronic contact stock, which keeps the recycling loop tight. Anyone selling Gold (.999) regularly will see that posted rates move with the broader commodity benchmark plus the rhythm of jewelry, electronics, and investment products, with each yard's volume and downstream relationships then setting where they land inside that band.

How Gold (.999) grades differ on the price board

Unlike copper or aluminum, Gold (.999) is normally posted as one grade on the price board. What lowers a posted price is attached base metal clasps and gemstone mounts. Sellers who clean off attached base metal clasps, solder joints, and gemstone mounts ahead of time tend to clear at the full posted price. Once it leaves the yard, the material is shipped on for refining into new investment bars and electronic stock, which is why yards care about how clean the inbound load is.
