The live XAU/USD price, when gold is most liquid, and what moves it.
FxPro offers gold with competitive spreads, MT4/MT5 and Local INR bank transfers reported-friendly funding for traders in India.
Open FxPro account →XAU/USD is spot gold priced in US dollars per troy ounce. One standard lot is 100 oz and one pip is 0.01, so the quote reads like 4275.0. Your profit or loss is the dollar change in that quote multiplied by your ounce exposure, then converted to rupees at your account's rate.
Gold responds mainly to the US dollar, real interest rates, and demand for defensive assets. Dollar strength usually pressures it; falling real yields usually support it. Central bank buying and physical demand add a slower pull. None of this is predictable in the short run, which is why risk control matters more than forecasting.
Liquidity builds through the London session and peaks in the overlap with US hours, which lands in the Indian evening and night. The Asian session is quieter. Thin hours mean wider price gaps and stops that trigger on small moves, so many India-based traders do their sizing around the busier window instead.
Yes, at the point of conversion. XAU/USD is priced in dollars, so your profit or loss is dollar-denominated, but a rupee account converts it at the prevailing USD/INR rate. A weaker rupee adds to a dollar gain and deepens a dollar loss. Factor that in when you set targets in rupees.
SEBI regulates Indian securities and commodity exchanges, and offshore forex and gold CFD brokers operate outside that framework. FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA — not by SEBI. That distinction matters for how you assess counterparty risk, and it is why sober leverage use and small position sizes are non-negotiable.
