Gold futures contracts price in the U.S. by month 2019-2024, with forecasts to 2029

Published by Statista Research Department, Jul 25, 2024

As of June 25, 2024, gold futures contracts to be settled in June 2030 were trading on U.S. markets at around 2,795 U.S. dollars per troy ounce. This is above the price of 2,339.6 U.S. dollars per troy ounce for contracts to be settled in June 2024, indicating that gold traders expect the price of gold to rise over the next five years. Gold futures are contracts that effectively lock in a price for an amount of gold to be purchased at a time in the future, which can then be traded on markets. Futures markets therefore provide an indicator of how investors think a commodities market will develop in the future.

Monthly price of gold futures contracts in the United States from January 2019 to June 2024, with forecasts from April 2024 to December 2029 (in U.S. dollars per troy ounce)
