As of 9:00 AM ET today, Monday, May 18, 2026, the live spot price of gold is trading at $4,578.70 per ounce, marking a solid +0.62% increase from Friday morning’s price of $4,550.70. For bulk investors tracking metrics across various weights, this brings today’s gold price to $147.21 per gram and $147,208.13 per kilogram.
This morning's modest rebound follows a heavy technical selloff that occurred late last week. The price support is primarily driven by institutional buyers stepping in to buy the dip. According to recent market reports, China's central bank physical accumulation has hit a 17-month high, providing a firm floor under the market despite macro headwinds. While traders are adjusting to tight monetary environments under newly confirmed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, structural demand from central banks looking for de-dollarization hedges keeps the long-term bullion market highly resilient.
