The United States is the world's primary gold price-setting market — the COMEX division of the CME Group in New York sets the global gold futures price, which drives the international spot price referenced worldwide. The US Mint produces the American Gold Eagle (22K, the most traded gold coin in the US) and the American Gold Buffalo (24K, 99.99% fine), both are legal tender with face values. Gold is priced in US Dollars (USD) per troy ounce. There is no federal sales tax on gold in the US, but state sales tax varies — most states exempt investment-grade gold bullion from sales tax. Major US bullion dealers include APMEX (American Precious Metals Exchange), JM Bullion, Kitco, and SD Bullion. Physical gold in an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) — known as a Gold IRA — is a popular US investment vehicle using approved coins and bars held by a custodian. ETFs: SPDR Gold Trust (GLD on NYSE) is the world's largest gold ETF. Indian Americans — over 4.5 million in the US — purchase 22K gold jewellery from Indian jewellers concentrated in New Jersey (Oak Tree Road), Chicago's Devon Avenue, Houston's Hillcroft corridor, and California's Artesia. Remitting gold purchased in the US to India is subject to Indian customs duty limits (up to 1 kg with duty payment).
