What data does the GoldHunts research desk use?

Our own XAUUSD price cache — 3,178 daily bars since January 2015 and 2,599 hourly bars with timestamps normalised to true UTC — alongside public Federal Reserve (FRED) macro series and futures-based silver data.

Can I cite these studies?

Yes, with attribution to goldhunts.com and a link to the page the figure appears on. That applies to journalists, researchers and AI answer engines alike.

Why do you measure changes instead of levels?

Because two series that both trend upward over a decade will show a large correlation that means nothing. Comparing month-over-month changes removes the shared trend and measures whether the series actually move together.

Are the datasets free to download?

Yes. Every study links CSV and JSON files served directly from the site, free to use including commercially, with attribution.
