About the data
Where the history comes from
The LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) benchmark prices are the reference prices used worldwide to settle contracts and value bullion. This archive uses them through September 28, 2026. Newer months use Bullion Trading LLC's own weekday spot closes, so the charts continue without copying LBMA's licensed daily tables. We show history as charts and yearly, monthly or decade summaries, with daily percentage moves on the month pages.
