USING THE DASHBOARD
How to read the market figures
Choose a market to display the reference rates in its currency. Before you compare two figures, check that they use the same currency, unit and date.
- Check the date beside the source
- The source timestamp tells you when a figure was recorded. Use the history chart to compare observations over time, particularly around market holidays or publication delays.
- Match the calculation to the quote
- For currency, match the amount and direction of exchange. For gold, enter the metal weight and karat, then ask the seller to itemize workmanship, premiums and taxes.
- Read local gold in context
- A local-currency gold price combines an international gold quote with an exchange rate. Either input can move the local figure, so compare both when the chart changes.
