What is the stock exchange symbol for gold?

Answer 1

For Yahoo Finance:

Euro in USD: EURUSD=X

GLD is the symbol for SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (NYSE)

If you are using MSN Money, (Or the Sidebar Gadget in Windows Vista or 7), the symbol is: -GC

Answer 2

There is no such thing.
Gold Spot prices have a London Fix mornings and afternoons each trading day.
The Kitco.com website is a reasonable source of information for Spot prices.

-------------------------------------------------------
Sure there is a symbol for spot gold. The Symbol is the future gold (next one that will expire ) take that price and minus $1. This is the spot price of gold.

But then again, spot price is what your trading partner is referencing. Most large dealer or broker, look at future gold price to give you a quote of the Spot Price.

GLD is the symbol of a US company that as I understand buys and stores gold and as such closely reflects Spot prices. ----------------------

There is not a symbol, however you may sometimes see websites use t oz, meaning "troy ounce".

A troy ounce (commonly abbreviated as t oz, with no periods) is equal to 480 grains. Consequently, the international troy ounce is equal to exactly 31.1034768 grams. There are 12 troy ounces in the now obsolete troy pound.

Today, the troy ounce is used only to express the mass of precious metals such as gold, platinum, palladium or silver; an ounce of gold (1 troy ounce) is referred as a 99.99% pure gold piece or gold grains (gold shot).

Also, http://www.goldprice.org/ is an excellent source for up-to-date prices on gold.
