Understanding the language of the gold market is crucial for interpreting the chart. Here are the main terms and concepts relevant to the price data presented:
• Price (USD/oz): This is the value of one troy ounce of gold expressed in U.S. Dollars (USD).
• Troy Ounce (oz t): The standard unit of measurement for precious metals. It is approximately $10\%$ heavier than a standard (Avoirdupois) ounce.
• Spot Price: The price at which gold can be immediately bought or sold. The prices in this video represent the average monthly spot price.

• Gold Standard: The monetary system (prior to 1971, but influencing the 1973 data) where a country's currency value was directly linked to a specified amount of gold.
• Bull Market: A period when prices are rising or are expected to rise.
• Bear Market: A period when prices are falling or are expected to fall.
• Nominal Price: The price of gold at the time it was recorded, which is the price displayed in the video. (It is not adjusted for inflation, which would be the Real Price).
