This is the world spot price of raw gold. Shops add making charges, their margin and sometimes VAT, so jewellery costs more.
Karat is the share of pure gold: 24K is ~99.9%, 22K is 91.7%, 21K is 87.5% and 18K is 75%. Lower karat, lower price per gram.
Ounce price in USD ÷ 31.1035 grams = 24K gram price. Multiply by the karat share (e.g. 21 ÷ 24) and by the local exchange rate.

Gold trades almost around the clock from Sunday evening to Friday evening and pauses at the weekend, so the price stays flat on Saturday and Sunday until the market opens.
