Price of Gold Today: $4,047 to $4,069 an Ounce on Friday Morning, Down About 1% After Thursday's $4,088 Close
North Texans searching 'price of gold today' get three feeds telling the same story: gold opened Friday near Thursday's $4,088.28 close and has slipped about 1 percent, with spot readings between $4,047.10 and $4,068.87 an ounce in the morning's reads. A Texas dealer's spread, as carried in the same files, sat at $4,054.55 bid and $4,076.55 ask.
The price of gold today, Friday, Nov. 6, depends on which feed you read and when — so this desk prints all three it read this run, with their timestamps. Kitco's spot page put gold at $4,047.10 a troy ounce at 8:47 a.m. Eastern, down $41.10, or 1.01 percent, with 24-karat gold at $130.12 a gram. GoldPrice.com read $4,068.87 an ounce at 6:42 a.m. Eastern, down 1.07 percent from the last LBMA PM fix, and $4,063.81 in a 7:50 a.m. read, down 1.19 percent. Finnhub's XAU/USD data told the same story a third way: $4,048.24 current, an open at $4,087.84, a day high of $4,107.09 and a low of $4,029.83.
Thursday's close is the anchor for all of it: gold settled Nov. 5 at $4,088.28 an ounce, up 0.69 percent from $4,060.36 the day before, GoldPrice.com's market-close file reports. Friday's roughly 1 percent slip gives back that gain and a little more. The Texas datapoint in the files is a dealer's spread: Texas Precious Metals' bid and ask, carried by GoldPrice.com, stood at $4,054.55 bid and $4,076.55 ask at 7:44 a.m. Eastern — the $22 gap between what a dealer pays and what a dealer charges, before any premium on a specific coin or bar, is the part of the price a North Texas seller or buyer actually meets.
Why the searches spike on a morning like this is not a mystery: Friday follows the worst day on Wall Street since April 2025, when AI stocks plunged and the S&P 500 fell 4.4 percent in the file this station published this morning. Gold did not play its textbook shelter role in the morning reads — it fell alongside. This story is a price service, not advice: spot prices move by the minute, retail prices add premiums, and the desk will update the figure in the next cycle's file if the close moves it materially.
