The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has commenced the implementation of its new gold pricing regime based on the London Bullion Market Association AM and PM pricing windows, effective July 1, 2026.
Under the new regime, the goldBod will publish two official purchase prices each trading day, corresponding to the LBMA AM and PM pricing windows.
The AM pricing window operates from 9:30 am to 2:20 pm, while the PM pricing window runs from 2:30 pm to 9:20 am the following day.
To ensure all transactions are matched with the applicable pricing window, all purchases must be booked in real time within the designated booking periods. The AM booking window is from 9:30 am to 2:20 pm, while the PM booking window operates from 2:30 pm to 8:30 pm and again from 6:00 am to 9:20 am the following day.
Trading and booking will be suspended during two transition periods: from 2:21 pm to 2:29 pm and from 9:21 am to 9:29 am. No bookings will be accepted during these suspension periods.
The goldBod reminded all licensed gold buyers that every purchase must be booked in real time and strictly within the applicable booking window. Any booking submitted outside the prescribed windows or during suspension periods will be rejected and deemed to relate to the next applicable pricing window.
All licensed buyers are advised to organise their trading operations to ensure strict compliance with the approved pricing and booking timelines.
