Gold Update (2026): Gold since 2011 – a data-based analysis of the stored spot-price series.
How the calculation works
The starting amount is converted into a theoretical gold quantity at the first available spot observation. That quantity is valued at the final observation. The chart contains stored points only; no prices are inserted and no actual dealer transaction is assumed.
What the analysis does not claim
It excludes bid-ask spreads, premiums, custody, tax and personal circumstances. Nominal return is not the same as inflation-adjusted purchasing power. Past performance cannot predict future outcomes.
