Context

Gold. A precious item with its own duality. In one side, it's a popular investment asset. In another side, it's a commodity. Whether you buy it as an asset or as commodity, the price for gold is always influenced by two things, as similar as other commodities in market: supply and demand. It's not easy to combine many aspects in supply and demand into a single dataset without making it into wall of columns. And also aggregating the data might not easy to do, since the data might not available publicly. But it doesn't mean we can't learn the historical pattern of gold market. At least some gold price historical data are available for public. And we can use that to analyze the market pattern, and, maybe, learn something from them.

In this dataset you can find real and nominal gold prices since 1791 to 2020. The explanation of the differences between real and nominal prices are:

· Nominal values are the current monetary values. · Real values are adjusted for inflation and show prices/wages at constant prices. · Real values give a better guide to what you can actually buy and the opportunity costs you face.

Example of real vs nominal:

· If you receive an 8% increase in your wages from £100 to £108, this is the nominal increase. · However, if inflation is 2%, then the real increase in wages is (8-2%) 6%. · The real wage is a better guide to how your living standards changes. It shows what you are actually able to buy with the extra increase in wages. · If wages increased 80%, but inflation was also 80%, the real increase in wages would be 0% – in effect, despite the monetary increase in wages of 80%, the amount of goods and services you could buy would be the same.

Hope this dataset is useful for you! Any questions or answers do not hesitate in contact me.
