About these figures
Bid and ask are the wholesale market’s buy and sell quotes; the spread between them is the market’s own transaction cost and is far tighter than any retail dealer spread. The day range marker shows where the current price sits between today’s low and high. Change is measured against the previous LBMA PM fix.
Industrial metals are quoted per metric ton from the same Metals.dev feed and update daily rather than minute by minute.
How it’s calculated
Spread = ask − bid; spread % = (ask − bid) ÷ bid. Day-range position = (price − low) ÷ (high − low).
Prices are live spot from Metals.dev; dealer bid and ask from Texas Precious Metals; crypto from CoinGecko. Every figure on this page is timestamped and nothing is estimated when a feed is unavailable.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between bid and ask?
Bid is the price buyers in the wholesale market will pay right now; ask is the price sellers will accept. The quoted spot price sits between them.
Why is the market spread so much smaller than a dealer’s?
Wholesale bullion trades in 400 oz bars between banks with tiny margins. Retail dealers add fabrication, shipping, insurance and their own margin on top.
How current is this data?
Precious-metal detail refreshes about every five minutes and headline spot every minute, both from Metals.dev; industrial metals are daily. Every panel shows its own timestamp.
All calculations use live market prices and are estimates. Actual dealer prices, premiums and refining charges vary. Nothing on this page is investment advice.
