Daily LBMA data. The LBMA publishes AM (10:30 GMT) and PM (15:00 GMT) fixes every London business day. Monthly high = highest PM fix in September 1999; monthly low = lowest PM fix. Monthly average = arithmetic mean of all PM fixes in the month.

Intra-month volatility. Gold's average true range (ATR) is $15–40/oz in normal markets, $50–100+/oz during major macro events. A one-month window in September 1999 typically contains 2–5 significant price moves worth cataloguing.

Context within the year. Monthly data is most useful read against the annual trend. A month where gold fell 3% looks different if the annual trend is +20% (profit-taking) versus −10% (continuation). The annual page for 1999 provides this broader context.
