Finding Historical Gold and Silver Prices in Dukascopy Data

Summary

The document addresses where to obtain long-run historical prices for gold and silver, preferably at weekly or monthly frequency. The response points readers to Dukascopy’s historical market data download and identifies XAUUSD and XAGUSD as the instruments corresponding to gold and silver quoted in US dollars.

The suggested download format is CSV, which can be opened or converted for analysis in spreadsheet software. The exchange does not provide sample data, demonstrate the download steps, or verify the requested history length and frequency. Researchers should check the available date range, sampling options, and data conventions before using the series in a study or backtest.

Key ideas

• Dukascopy is suggested as a source for historical gold and silver market data.
• The instruments to look for are XAUUSD for gold and XAGUSD for silver.
• The response says the data can be downloaded in CSV format.
• The available history and frequency should be checked before relying on the data.

Preferably in monthly or weekly denomination, for at least 20 years. Preferably in Excel format, but csv, or other format is fine too. I try to google but couldn't find anything, maybe I just wasn't doing it right.
