Helpful use
How these history pages should be used
- Use this history hub when the query is about trend direction, prior cycles, or how far gold has moved versus a prior period.
- Use the live United States route when you need the current benchmark and intraday move first.
- Use the year-by-year route when the query is explicitly tied to a calendar year such as 2025 or 2026.
