Method and source. Daily bars and hourly bars from the public dataset XAUUSD gold price historical data 2004-2025 (Hugging Face, ZombitX64) (revision ff6469dc91; the dataset card names Kaggle novandraanugrah/xauusd-gold-price-historical-data-2004-2024 as its source). Daily move = close vs previous close. Daily range = high minus low, as % of the previous close. Weekend gap = Friday's last hourly close to the first hourly open after the weekend. Year change = last close of the year vs last close of the year before. Broker-style spot data; values differ from futures/other feeds (e.g. 17 Sep 2008 is +10.99% here vs about 9% COMEX settle, per Quantex note 08). Built by the Investezo AI on 2026-10-18; every number on this page is computed from that data.
