We retrieve the live international gold (XAU) and silver (XAG) spot prices per troy ounce from gold-api.com. The feed ticks every few seconds while the market is open (Sunday 18:00 ET – Friday 17:00 ET, with a 1-hour daily break); when the market is closed we show the last close and label it clearly.

Pakistan rates come from the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA) bulletin as published by HamariWeb — the live Rawalpindi/Islamabad sarafa rate for 24K, 22K, 21K, 20K and 18K per tola and per 10 grams. The sarafa rate carries a small local premium over a pure spot conversion, so we never substitute a spot-derived value for it.

Indian rates use the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) daily benchmark, read from TrackLivePrice — the landed cost of gold in India including import duty, which typically runs above a straight spot-price conversion. India quotes gold per 10 grams, and our India pages lead with that unit.

Every local-currency price on this site is converted from the USD spot price with exchange rates from the Exchange Rate API (open.er-api.com), refreshed daily. Each country's USD-per-gram figure is its rounded local price divided by that rate, so the true local cost is visible.
