The basics
What is the Weekend Gold price?
Most forex and metals apps go quiet when COMEX and the London gold market close for the weekend. Weekend Gold is ForexPulse’s live quote for that window — a synthetic gold price based on gold instruments that still trade Saturday and Sunday. It is labeled Weekend Gold, not weekday XAU/USD, so you always know which session you are looking at.
How the Weekend Gold price is calculated
Weekend Gold blends gold instruments that keep trading on Saturday and Sunday — including crypto-traded gold — converted to US dollars and adjusted for their usual gap to spot gold.
When those sources agree, confidence is high. When they disagree, the quote pauses rather than invent a cleaner number.
Is the gold market open on weekends?
Spot gold (XAU/USD) is typically closed from Friday around 5:00 p.m. Eastern through Sunday evening. That is why many apps show a frozen gold price on Saturday. Other gold instruments can still trade. Weekend Gold on ForexPulse is live from Friday 5:00 p.m. to Sunday 6:00 p.m. Eastern. Outside that window this page shows the next session time and the weekday spot gold (XAU/USD) price for context.
Gold price on Saturday and Sunday
Sat · all day
Gold price on Saturday
Saturday sits in the middle of the closed spot-gold window. This page keeps a live Saturday gold quote — the Weekend Gold price, the change since Friday’s session open, and Saturday session high and low — so you can see whether gold is still moving while COMEX is shut.
Sun · until 6 PM ET
Gold price on Sunday
Weekend Gold stays live on Sunday until 6:00 p.m. Eastern. Use it to check the Sunday gold price before the weekday XAU/USD market reopens. After the session ends, the widget switches to the next open time and weekday spot gold.
Weekend gold vs XAU/USD and Monday's open
XAU/USD is the weekday spot gold price. Weekend Gold is not a substitute print of that contract. It is a separate synthetic quote published only while spot gold is closed. When the weekday market is open, follow XAU/USD; when it is closed, follow Weekend Gold.
Spot gold typically reopens on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. New York time — Monday morning in Asia. Its first price can sit above or below the last Weekend Gold price, because the whole market trades again; the weekend-vs-spot figure above shows how far gold has moved since Friday's close.
Why gold still moves when COMEX is closed
News, crypto-traded gold, and other continuously traded gold instruments do not always wait for Monday. Weekend Gold follows that weekend activity and shows when confidence is high or paused. It is not a COMEX or LBMA official price, not a broker quote, and not financial advice.
How to read the Weekend Gold quote
- The large number is the current Weekend Gold price in US dollars.
- The percentage is the change since this weekend session opened — not the weekday daily change.
- Session open, high, and low describe this weekend only.
- If confidence is paused, the underlying weekend markets disagree. ForexPulse keeps the last price and does not invent a cleaner number.

Weekend gold price FAQ
When is the Weekend Gold price available?
Weekend Gold is live from Friday 5:00 p.m. Eastern through Sunday 6:00 p.m. Eastern — the window when the spot gold market is typically closed.
Is the gold market open on the weekend?
Spot gold (XAU/USD) is typically closed from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. Gold can still move on Saturday and Sunday through other gold instruments. ForexPulse publishes a Weekend Gold price during that closed window.
Can I see a gold price on Saturday?
Yes. Saturday is inside the Weekend Gold session. This page shows the live Saturday gold quote, session change, and session open/high/low while spot gold is closed.
Can I see a gold price on Sunday?
Yes. Weekend Gold stays live through Sunday until 6:00 p.m. Eastern. After that, this page shows the next session time and weekday spot gold (XAU/USD) for context.
Is Weekend Gold the same as XAU/USD?
No. XAU/USD is the weekday spot gold price. Weekend Gold is a separate synthetic price ForexPulse publishes only while spot gold is closed, so you can still follow gold over the weekend.
Why does gold still move when COMEX is closed?
Some gold instruments keep trading after the spot market closes. Weekend Gold tracks that weekend activity as a synthetic quote. It is not a COMEX or LBMA official price.
Why does the quote sometimes pause?
If the underlying weekend gold markets disagree, ForexPulse pauses the confidence read instead of showing a number it does not trust. The last price remains visible.
Can I get Weekend Gold alerts on my iPhone?
Yes. Download ForexPulse on iPhone, add Weekend Gold to your watchlist, and set a price alert. On Apple Watch, alerts can arrive as haptic feedback. The session chart and confidence read are free on this page; the app adds the alert the moment gold moves, and Pro removes the one-alert limit.
What time does gold start trading on Sunday?
Spot gold (XAU/USD) and COMEX gold futures typically reopen on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. New York time — Monday morning in Asia. Weekend Gold ends at the same time, when the weekday market takes over.
Is gold traded on Saturday?
Spot gold (XAU/USD) and COMEX gold futures do not trade on Saturday. Some gold instruments, including crypto-traded gold, keep trading through the weekend, and Weekend Gold follows that activity as a live Saturday quote.
Why can the weekend gold price differ from Monday's opening price?
Weekend Gold follows the few gold instruments that trade on Saturday and Sunday, not the full spot market. When spot gold reopens on Sunday evening New York time, the whole market trades again, so its first price can sit above or below the last Weekend Gold price. Weekend Gold shows how gold moved over the weekend; it is not a forecast of the open.
Where does the Weekend Gold price come from?
ForexPulse blends gold instruments that keep trading on Saturday and Sunday — including crypto-traded gold — converts them to US dollars and adjusts for their usual gap to spot gold. When those sources disagree, the confidence read pauses and the last price stays.
