Why is the world price quoted per ounce but I buy in grams?

Precious metals trade internationally in troy ounces, which is 31.1034768 grams, while local markets quote grams. This page shows both, so you never have to convert by hand. The troy ounce is not the everyday ounce of 28.35 grams.

Why is gold sourced differently from the other rates?

The central bank feed publishes gold with too few decimal places to be usable: a single digit change would move the price by hundreds. Gold is therefore refreshed from live exchange quotes for two tokens that each represent one troy ounce of vaulted gold, checked against each other before use.
