Gold pricing determinants Gold is a metal that is considered malleable, ductile, and is known for its bright lustrous yellow color. This transition metal is highly valued as a precious metal for its use in coins, jewelry, and in investments. Gold was also once used as a standard for monetary policies between different countries. The price of gold is determined by daily fixings where participants agree to buy or sell at a set price or to maintain the price through supply and demand control. For gold, companies like Barclays Capital, Scotia-Mocatta, Sociétè Générale, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank are members in gold fixing at the London Bullion Market Association.

Gold prices have reached record highs, driven by trade tensions and tariffs, positioning gold as a key safe-haven asset amid economic uncertainties.

The price of gold per troy ounce increased considerably between 1990 and 2025, despite some fluctuations. A troy ounce is the international common unit of weight used for precious metals and is approximately **** grams. At the end of 2024, a troy ounce of gold cost ******* U.S. dollars. As of * June 2025, it increased considerably to ******** U.S. dollars. 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 futures hit a historic high of $3,248.40 due to U.S. tariff policies and inflation concerns, with a 36% surge over the past year.

Worldwide gold demand amounted to ******* metric tons in 2024, an increase from ******* metric tons in the previous year. Furthermore, 2020 was the first time demand for gold was lower than ***** metric tons throughout the period considered, and the driving force behind that drop was the coronavirus pandemic. Gold supply The supply of gold depends largely on the mine production of gold. Production, in turn, depends on two factors. The countries with higher reserves of gold work harder to extract their gold when the price of gold increases, following the standard theory that the quantity supplied increases with price. Similarly, the expectation of higher prices in the future prompts speculators to explore for new reserves. As new lodes are discovered, the supply of gold increases. Investments in gold Gold is subject to cyclical volatility in its rate of return, and many investors speculate on its value. However, for historic reasons, many view it as a symbol of price stability. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system tied the price of all major currencies to the price of gold until the 1970s. This legacy means that most countries still maintain large gold reserves. While this can drive gold demand, it also reduces the supply of gold in circulation by locking huge amounts of gold in central bank vaults. Gold demand was noticeably higher following the Financial Crisis, until the coronavirus pandemic hit. Many investors look to gold in periods of market turmoil because they believe that it holds value through recessions better than other assets.

The 4x100 meter relay has been included as a men's event in all Olympic Games since 1912, and as a women's event since 1928. The United States has dominated both events throughout Olympic history, with men's teams taking 15 out of 25 gold medals, and women's teams have won 11 out of 21 golds. The world records and Olympic records were all set in the 2012 Olympics; the men's were set by Jamaica, with a time of 36.84 seconds, and the women's records were set by the United States, with a time of 40.82 seconds. The most successful athletes in the 4x100m relay are the U.S.' Frank Wykoff, who won three back-to-back golds between 1928 and 1936, and the U.S.' Evelyn Ashford, who also won three back-to-back golds between 1984 and 1992. Why are athletes faster in the relay? If the men's world record of 36.84 seconds in the 4x100m is divided by four, then it shows that each runner had an average time of 9.21 seconds per 100 meters. This is 0.37 seconds faster than the current 100m world record set by Usain Bolt in 2009. Possibly even more surprising, Bolt's record time in the anchor (final) leg of the 2015 IAAF World Relays was 8.65 seconds (0.93 seconds faster than his world record). In running events at the Olympics, the 4x100m relay has the fastest speed of any men's or women's event. The reason for these record times is because only one of the runners starts from a stationary position, while the other three runners in the team are allowed to build up speed before they hit (close to) their top speed and take over the baton. The men's world record is also faster than the world record for the individual 400m race by more than six seconds. How the relay works Athlete's run in teams of four, with the starting runners beginning in staggered blocks, using the same specifications as those used in the 400m. The runners then sprint for 100 meters before exchanging the baton with their teammates. The exchange takes place in a thirty meter zone that overlaps both athletes' 100 meter stretch; in this zone, the receiving runner will use the first ten meters to accelerate and build up momentum, before the runners exchange the baton. The exchange is usually done "blind", where the receiving runner looks forward as they begin building momentum and then stretches their receiving hand backwards, before the incoming runner then passes the baton to the receiver. Smooth exchanges are fundamental to completing the race in the fastest time possible, and if teams drop the baton, cross lanes or exchange outside of the designated zone then they are disqualified from the race. These disqualifications are common even at the highest level, for example, in the men's relay in 2016 the United States were disqualified as the first baton exchange took place outside the designated zone, while Trinidad and Tobago were disqualified for a lane infringement.
