The basic conversion
To convert a dollar quote into euros, divide the USD gold price by the number of dollars per euro. At USD 2,200 and EUR/USD 1.10, the result is EUR 2,000 per troy ounce.
Divide that figure by 31.1034768 for the price per gram of fine gold. Dealer premiums and spreads remain separate from this market conversion.

Formula: dollar price ÷ EUR/USD. Bid/ask rates, timestamps and dealer costs can differ.
Opposite moves are possible
If dollar gold falls by two per cent while the euro weakens more sharply, the euro gold price can still rise. The reverse is equally possible when the euro strengthens.
The currency effect is neither a bonus nor a hedge that always helps. It is an additional source of gains and losses for anyone whose spending and reporting currency is not the US dollar.
Why displayed prices vary slightly
One provider may publish a direct XAU/EUR quote while another combines XAU/USD with an ECB reference rate. Non-synchronous timestamps, rounding and the use of bid, ask or midpoint produce small differences.
Gold Update stores a USD observation and derives other currencies with documented ECB reference rates obtained through Frankfurter. Every resulting value remains indicative.
