Live Gold, Silver, Crude Oil & Lithium Price Charts

Gold (XAU) and Silver (XAG) have functioned as universal stores of value, central bank monetary reserves, and essential industrial raw materials for centuries. On international wholesale bullion markets—including the London Bullion Market (LBMA), COMEX in New York, and the Shanghai Gold Exchange—spot prices are quoted in US Dollars per Troy Ounce (USD/oz). However, retail buyers, jewelers, and regional investors across Asia, Europe, and North America frequently purchase bullion in grams, 10-gram bars, Tolas, or kilograms.

Unlike the standard avoirdupois ounce used for everyday household goods (`28.3495 grams`), the precious metals industry exclusively uses the Troy Ounce, which equals exactly 31.1034768 grams. When converting live spot prices across international currencies like the Indian Rupee (`INR`), Hong Kong Dollar (`HKD`), Euro (`EUR`), or British Pound (`GBP`), our interactive charts apply real-time foreign exchange rates alongside exact mathematical mass conversions:

• 1 Troy Ounce (oz): Exactly `31.1034768 grams` (Global wholesale benchmark for Gold and Silver).
• 1 Gram (g): Equal to `0.0321507 Troy Ounces` (Widely used for retail coins, wafers, and jewelry pricing).
• 10 Grams (10g): Equal to `0.321507 Troy Ounces` (The standard retail gold benchmark across India and South Asia).
• 1 Tola: Equal to `11.6638038 grams` or exactly `0.375 Troy Ounces` (Traditional South Asian and Middle Eastern bullion unit).
• 1 Kilogram (kg): Equal to `1,000 grams` or `32.1507466 Troy Ounces` (Standard institutional and central bank wholesale bar weight).

Why the Gold-to-Silver Ratio Matters: In addition to tracking outright spot prices, macroeconomic analysts and precious metal investors closely monitor the Gold/Silver Ratio—calculated by dividing the current price of one ounce of gold by the price of one ounce of silver. Because silver derives over half of its global demand from industrial applications (such as solar photovoltaic panels, electric vehicle electronics, 5G infrastructure, and medical devices) while gold is primarily driven by monetary policy, central bank accumulation, and real interest rates, shifts in the ratio often signal broader turns in global industrial growth and inflation expectations.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude Oil serves as one of the world's most liquid and closely watched energy benchmarks. Because light, sweet crude oil has a low sulfur content and low density, it requires less complex refining to yield high-value transportation fuels such as motor gasoline, diesel, and aviation jet fuel. Fluctuations in crude oil prices directly impact global shipping freight rates, airline operating margins, agricultural fertilizer costs, plastic polymer manufacturing, and consumer headline inflation (`CPI`).

For logistics managers, manufacturers, and consumers, viewing raw crude oil prices translated directly into per-gallon (`gal`), per-liter (`L`), and per-metric-tonne (`tonne`) units makes it easy to compare wholesale energy inputs against local retail fuel pump prices. One standard wholesale crude unit (`42 US gallons`) equals approximately `158.987 liters`, while one metric tonne of light sweet crude oil represents roughly `7.33 wholesale units` depending on specific gravity (`API gravity`). Comparing raw crude oil per liter against retail gasoline or diesel prices highlights the refining crack spread, distribution costs, and local fuel taxation across different countries.

Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate (`Li₂CO₃`)—requiring a minimum chemical purity of `99.5%`—is the foundational raw material for Lithium Iron Phosphate (`LFP`) and Nickel Manganese Cobalt (`NMC`) cathodes used in electric vehicle (`EV`) battery packs and utility-scale grid storage systems. Unlike gold or crude oil, which trade on centralized 24-hour retail futures exchanges, physical lithium chemicals are primarily traded via bilateral supply contracts and regional spot assessments in East Asia, South America's "Lithium Triangle" (Chile, Argentina, Bolivia), and Australian hard-rock spodumene mines.

Global chemical refiners and automotive original equipment manufacturers (`OEMs`) quote lithium carbonate by the Metric Tonne (`1,000 kg` or `2,204.62 lbs`). By switching the unit selector on Chart #4 to Kilograms (`kg`) or Pounds (`lb`), engineers, equity researchers, and consumers can quickly estimate the underlying raw material cost per kilowatt-hour (`kWh`) of battery capacity. A typical 60 kWh electric vehicle battery pack requires roughly 30 to 40 kilograms of lithium carbonate equivalent (`LCE`), meaning swings in per-kilogram lithium spot prices directly influence electric vehicle retail pricing and clean-energy adoption curves.
