I know... there are a few times throughout the day, like when I am at the gym, where I will not stop and make updates, and this happened during one of those times.
Anyway, gold on the move tonight... 1835+. Next light resistance at 1843.7.

Big difference between spot price and futures price if you are dealing with physical metal anyway. The price of gold has yet to touch $2,000 in USD anyway.

Comex gold futures. I'm not sure what Kitco chart uses.
Kitco is the chart you want to go by...It's the gold spot price.
COMEX is a gold price for a future date delivered contract..(Aug or Sept...not sure what chart yours is)
How is the spot gold price determined?
I trade gold futures so I go by Comex which is arguably "the" price of gold for the nearest contract month, which that chart is.
You can take physical delivery of gold. Yes I know the rumors about default and cash bonus in lieu of delivery. But this is where the big gold buyers get their gold. And it's not like in this case the spot price is higher than the Comex price.
Was the spot market (?) even open last night when this happened?

The spot market is open 24/7/365 unlike the market you speak of. Your market is closed for the next 62 hours or so. Personally I wouldn't want to take delivery @ $2K+ when spot is only $1960 but then again I like to hold my purchased commodities in hand not to mention I'm a cheap ole basstad. Good Luck!
the spot is closed for a short period after 5pm... to 6pm (eastern) and does not trade friday night to sunday evening
the gold futures market closes from 5pm to 6pm eastern M-Th and closes on 5 Friday until 6pm Sunday.
the front month for gold futures is Dec 2020
there is a thread I made where I found the formula to calculate the spot price from the futures price. At the one point I checked, kitco was spot on, pun intended.
there was a dislocation in quoted spot price on kitco being higher than the futures contract. this was in the heart of the pandemic. I think it was due to lack of COMEX inventory. I think. COMEX has supoosedly been replenished if you buy the MSM.
and of course there is now a dislocation between spot price and what price people are actually buying and selling.

Hoping (very poor investment strategy, but when in Rome) it reaches an inflation adjusted high.

Comex gold futures. I'm not sure what Kitco chart uses.
