When the spot price is higher than the futures price it's known as Backwardation. It's also an inversion in gold's pricing mechanism that is bullish toward the yellow metal

The opposite is known as Contango which indicates a bearish sentiment for the metal.

Backwardation is an indication that traders DONT believe gold will be cheaper tomorrow.
