Frequently Asked Questions
How often do precious metals prices update on these charts?
Our precious metals price charts refresh every 60 seconds during market hours, pulling data from major exchanges and market makers worldwide. Updates occur 24/5 from Sunday 6:00 PM ET through Friday 5:00 PM ET, reflecting the continuous global precious metals market. During weekends and holidays, prices display the last available market close.
Why do precious metals prices differ between websites?
Price variations occur because different sites source data from different dealers, exchanges, or aggregators. Some display spot prices, others show futures, and many add premiums or spreads. Our charts show the mid-point between bid and ask prices from multiple liquidity providers, offering a balanced market view. Physical metal prices at dealers will always include premiums above spot.
How do I read normalized comparison charts?
Normalized charts set all selected metals to a base value of 100 at your chosen start date, allowing direct percentage comparison regardless of absolute prices. If gold shows 120 and silver shows 140 on a normalized chart, silver has gained 40% while gold gained 20% from the start date. This reveals relative performance without the distortion of different price scales.
Which currencies are supported for price display?
Charts display prices in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, and JPY, covering major global currencies where precious metals actively trade. Currency conversion uses real-time forex rates updated alongside metal prices. Your selected currency preference saves locally and persists across sessions. Note that USD remains the primary pricing currency for global precious metals markets.
What is the Gold-Silver Ratio and how is it used?
The Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR) divides the gold price by the silver price, showing how many silver ounces equal one gold ounce. Historically averaging around 60:1, extremes below 40 or above 80 may suggest relative value opportunities. Traders sometimes exchange metals when ratios reach historical extremes, though this strategy requires careful timing and shouldn't be used as a sole decision factor.
Can I download historical precious metals price data?
Yes, we provide complete historical datasets in CSV and JSON formats covering all four precious metals since 2000. Downloads include daily OHLC prices, computed ratios, and volume data where available. Data updates daily at 6:00 PM ET. Commercial usage may require additional licensing depending on your intended application.
What's the difference between spot price and fix price?
Spot prices reflect current market trading prices that change continuously throughout the trading day. Fix prices (like London Fix) are benchmark prices set at specific times through an auction process among major banks. Our charts display spot prices for real-time accuracy. Fix prices serve as reference points for large transactions and contracts but update only twice daily.
Why are coin prices higher than the spot prices shown?
Physical coins and bars trade at premiums above spot prices due to manufacturing costs, dealer margins, shipping, insurance, and supply-demand dynamics for specific products. Premiums vary by product type, size, and market conditions. Spot prices represent the raw metal value, while retail prices include all additional costs of bringing physical metal to market. Smaller denominations typically carry higher percentage premiums.
