Spot gold, also known as London gold, is named after it originated in London. Spot gold trading is a type of contract trading that uses the principle of capital leverage. It is priced in "dollars per ounce" and the transaction is settled in U.S. dollars. Since it is not necessary to extract physical gold when trading spot gold, the steps of transportation, storage, inspection, and identification of physical gold are omitted, and the difference between the buying price and the selling price is also smaller than the difference between the buying and selling price of physical gold.
