Gold Market in United States
The COMEX (CME Group) in New York is the world's largest gold futures exchange — its settlement price is the global benchmark. The USD has an inverse relationship with gold: when the dollar weakens, gold typically rises (and vice versa). Major US gold investment vehicles include GLD (SPDR Gold Trust, ~$70B AUM) and IAU (iShares Gold Trust). The Federal Reserve's rate decisions are the single most watched macro factor for gold prices.
