    Futures can get a little goofy on long weekends, prefer to use closing spot bid until market re-opens Mon.. :

    Do not confuse spot price with futures price. Spot prices are for immediate buying and selling while futures contracts delay payment and delivery to predetermined future dates. Futures prices can be a window into future spot prices.

    That link is the June contract, not the current spot.

    $1752 was Thursday's NY City Comex GC1 future's close. Gold moved down lower later that afternoon in Globex hours. Essentially no trading occurred after Thursday's Globex close (17:00 EST). The world markets take Good Friday off.

    A "must read" for insight into the two largest gold exchanges:

    Bullion Bank Nightmare As LBMA-COMEX Spread Blows Up Again

    "In essence, the contango phenomenon we are seeing is one of gold futures prices trading far above spot gold prices, a sign of liquidity problems in the London gold market and a signal that something is completely broken between the world‘s two predominant “gold price discovery" trading venues – which both, by the way, trade paper gold."

    "That the wide-open spread continues to persist is even more remarkable, despite the best efforts of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), CME Group (operator of COMEX) and the powerful London-New York bullion bank syndicate to throw all they have at the problem."

    The higher gold, the less gold buyers

    Welcome to the PM forum. It seems to me that the more buyers, the higher the price goes.

    How much fertilizer do you have stored in your safe deposit box?

    Sorry, gold only offers protection against manure currencies.

    No complaints at all with the current address or with the current gold vs SP500 charts.
