About Live Gold Prices
Live Gold Prices publishes real-time spot prices, daily market analysis, and long-form commentary for gold and precious metals investors. The site is operated by Connell Media, LLC and is updated every trading day, 365 days a year.
We built this site because most gold price websites are either cluttered ad farms or thinly disguised dealer storefronts. We wanted something different: clean data, honest analysis, and no hidden agenda. We don't sell gold. We don't take commissions on bullion purchases. Our only product is the information itself.
Who We Are
Shaun Connell is the founder of Live Gold Prices and the publisher of the daily gold market briefing read by over 50,000 investors. He has been writing about markets, monetary policy, and sound money since 2012. He also founded the Capitalism Institute, a publication focused on free markets and economic commentary. Shaun is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area; Live Gold Prices is operated by Connell Media, LLC, with a corporate mailing address in Roanoke, Texas.
Our analysis team brings experience from Bloomberg, institutional commodity research, and independent financial publishing. Every article is reviewed for factual accuracy before publication, and we maintain a public Corrections & Updates Policy for transparency.

Our Data Sources

Historical performance data and year-end reference prices are sourced from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) PM fixing prices, accessed via the Xignite GlobalMetals API. The LBMA Gold and Silver Price auctions are administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA) and are widely recognized as the global benchmark for precious metals pricing.
Editorial content may reference data from the World Gold Council, IMF International Financial Statistics, the Federal Reserve, Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Treasury, and CME Group COMEX. These sources are cited within individual articles where applicable.
