where is the primary gold market

do you mean during the day in the USA
or round the clock 24 / 7 ?

by the way

-thebulliondesk- also has realtime prices
for the cash market in precious metals
 
gold mkt is based on London delivery. London is the true terminal market for inter-bank trading. you'll hear the expression, Loco London, which means Location London versus loco NY, or loco Guam. warrants versus Ldn etc

All physical swaps are based on a spread versus London.

For the truly esoteric, who knows what a US Assay bar is?
 
24/7
I know that London price fixing is important but I thought prices may move and settle more in NYC based on oil and interest rate factors. So which is it? Who really sets the price?

London fixing is used as an international standard, however there is also an arb of ny v PM fixing.

gold price fluctuates all day every day.
