How to read this page
  • The series comes from USGS annual unit values, so it is built for long-run trend reading rather than spot-price monitoring.
  • Gold and silver are shown in USD per troy ounce, while nickel, tungsten, and titanium are shown in USD per kilogram.
  • The latest covered year differs by metal because each official USGS workbook updates on its own schedule.
