Gold prices in , June, 2025 For that commodity indicator, we provide data from January 1960 to June 2025. The average value during that period was 600.07 USD per troy ounce with a minimum of 34.94 USD per troy ounce in January 1970 and a maximum of 3352.66 USD per troy ounce in June 2025. | TheGlobalEconomy.com

As of June 25, 2024, gold futures contracts to be settled in June 2030 were trading on U.S. markets at around ***** U.S. dollars per troy ounce. This is above the price of ******* U.S. dollars per troy ounce for contracts to be settled in June 2025, indicating that gold traders expect the price of gold to rise over the next five years. Gold futures are contracts that effectively lock in a price for an amount of gold to be purchased at a time in the future, which can then be traded on markets. Futures markets therefore provide an indicator of how investors think a commodities market will develop in the future.

This dataset is designed for the commodity market, featuring over 10,000 manually annotated news headlines. It aims to provide deep insights into news sentiment and its implications for commodity prices. The headlines were collected from various news sources and evaluated by three subject experts over a period of more than 20 years, from 2000 to 2021. Each news item has been assessed across multiple dimensions, including implied price direction (up, down, or constant), whether the news discusses past or future events, and if it involves asset comparisons. This dataset is particularly valuable for developing machine learning models that can understand commodity news, which can then serve as an additional input for both short-term and long-term price forecasting models. It is also useful for creating news-based indicators for commodities. Researchers focused on text analytics and classification problems will find this dataset beneficial, although some classes are highly imbalanced, which may present challenges for machine learning algorithms.

Precious metals

Precious metals are counted among the most valuable commodities worldwide. The most well known such metals are gold, silver and the platinum group metals. A precious metal can be used as an industrial commodity or as an investment. The major areas of application include the following sectors: technology, car-making, industrial manufacturing and jewelry making. Furthermore, gold and silver are used as coinage metals, and gold reserves are held by the central banks of many countries worldwide in order to store value or for use as a redemption medium. The idea behind this procedure is that gold reserves will help secure and stabilize the countries’ respective currencies. At 8,100 tons, the United States is the country with the most extensive stock of gold. It is kept in an underground vault at the New York Federal Reserve Bank.

Russia, the United States, Canada, South Africa and China are the main producers of precious metals. Silver is the most abundant of the metals, followed by gold and palladium. Barrick Gold is the world’s largest gold mining company. The Toronto-based firm produced some five million ounces of gold in 2020. The leading silver producers include Mexico-based Fresnillo, Poland’s KGHM Polska Miedž and the mining giant Glencore. Anglo Platinum and Impala are the key mining companies to produce platinum group metals.

In 2023, Silver prices are expected to settle at around 23.5 U.S. dollars per troy ounce. It is expected to remain the precious metal with the lowest value per ounce. The price of gold is forecast to drop to around 1,663 U.S. dollars per ounce, making it the most expensive precious metal in 2023.

Price of – additional information In 2000, the price of gold was at its lowest since 1990, with a troy ounce of gold costing ***** U.S. dollars in that year. Since then, gold prices have been rising and after the economic crisis of 2008, the price of gold rose at higher rates than ever before as the market began to see gold as an increasingly good investment. History has shown, gold is seen as a good investment in times of uncertainty because it can or is thought to function as a good store of value against a declining currency as well as providing protection against inflation. However, unlike other commodities, once gold is mined it does not get used up like other commodities (for example, such as gasoline). So while gold may be a good investment at times, the supply demand argument does not apply to gold. Nonetheless, the demand for gold has been mostly consistent.

Gold is a precious metal that has been highly valued by human societies for thousands of years due to its rarity, beauty, and unique properties. Chemically, gold is a soft, yellow metal that is resistant to corrosion, tarnishing, and oxidation, which makes it ideal for use in jewelry, coins, and decorative items. It is a noble metal, meaning it does not easily react with other elements, which has contributed to its historical significance as a symbol of wealth and power. Gold is also an excellent conductor of electricity and is highly malleable, allowing it to be shaped into intricate designs or thin sheets, making it indispensable in various industrial applications, including electronics, dentistry, and aerospace. As an investment, gold is seen as a safe haven during periods of economic instability, with its value often rising in times of inflation or financial crisis. The extraction of gold, however, is a complex and environmentally impactful process, involving mining, refining, and sometimes toxic chemicals. Despite this, gold remains an essential commodity in the global economy, not only in terms of its financial value but also for its cultural and industrial significance. Its enduring appeal as a store of value and a medium of exchange continues to shape economies and societies worldwide. The growing demand for gold as a safe haven asset, rising disposable income, and the increasing usage of gold in jewelry and technology are driving this growth. Hybrid seeds have numerous benefits, including improved yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to different climates. Government initiatives to promote the adoption of hybrid seeds, coupled with rising food security concerns, are further contributing to their market growth.
