Understanding Precious Metals Pricing
Spot Price
The spot price is the current market price for one troy ounce of precious metal. It fluctuates continuously during trading hours based on supply, demand, and global economic factors. Spot prices are quoted in USD.
Premium
The premium is the markup dealers add to the spot price. This covers manufacturing costs, distribution, and dealer profit. Premiums typically range from 2-6% depending on the product and market conditions.
Your Cost
Your actual purchase price = Spot Price + Premium + Shipping. Always compare total costs between dealers, not just spot prices. Some dealers offer free shipping thresholds that can improve value.
Market Timing
Precious metals markets are volatile. Rather than trying to time the market, many investors use dollar-cost averaging - making regular purchases regardless of price. This reduces timing risk over long periods.

Market Commentary
Precious metals markets continue to be supported by safe-haven demand and central bank buying. The strength in gold reflects ongoing economic uncertainty and the continued appeal of physical assets as a store of value.
For long-term investors, the fundamentals remain supportive. While short-term price volatility is expected, historical data shows that precious metals have provided excellent diversification and inflation protection over time.
