Gold Price Hits $4,360 Per Ounce Amid Inflation and Economic Uncertainty
The current price of gold is $4,360 per ounce as of September 21, 2026. This represents a decrease of $21 from the same time on September 18 and an increase of $637 from a year ago.
Gold's value has been rising due to ongoing inflation and economic uncertainty. According to James Taska, a fee-based financial advisor, 'There is a great debate as to whether paper gold is as useful as the physical.'
Taska suggests that owning gold as an exchange-traded fund (ETF) can be easier than physically holding it. This is because ETFs allow for managed portfolios of easily traded assets.
