Why do the quoted prices on BullionVault change during the weekend, while the chart does not?
This chart is a live feed of professional market spot prices. This market is closed on weekends and public holidays. BullionVault, on the other hand, never closes. The BullionVault site allows you to buy and sell gold and silver 24/7, every day of the year.
Can I be notified of gold quotes and if the market moves significantly?
Yes. Set up a gold price alert on the website or app to receive an email or notification whenever the gold price reaches the value you have chosen.
Can I buy at these gold prices?
Yes. BullionVault gives you access to professional precious metals markets, where you can buy and sell from one gram.
Like the spot price published by other sources (such as Reuters or Bloomberg), it represents the average of several wholesale quotes, and – crucially – it represents the average of the mid-points of these quotes. The spot price, in other words, does not necessarily reflect a price you could actually obtain from an individual bank or dealer, and it cannot reflect the spread between buy and sell prices.
For individuals, only BullionVault gives you direct access to this spread, allowing you to accept prices or propose them if you choose to use our market platform. You will benefit from the lowest costs to buy, sell, and store gold. To estimate commission and storage fees, you can use the cost calculator.
The Fix corresponds to the London price, which is the heart of the global physical gold market. Twice a day, the largest precious metals banks agree on a price to settle current customer orders at a fixed time of day, and this price is known as the London Fix and is published on the London Bullion Market Association website.
Prices are published on UK business days at midnight. Place your orders before 14:35 for gold and before 11:40 for silver, 13:35 for platinum and palladium. There is no official price published on Saturdays, Sundays, and on certain UK public holidays.
Can I buy at the London gold price or the Official Daily Fix with BullionVault?
Yes. Placing an order at the Official Daily Fix is a simple way to buy and sell gold. Enter the amount or quantity to exchange and we will handle the rest for you.
It takes two business days for the order to settle. For gold purchases, your funds remain in your account and are reserved until the metal is available. Similarly for selling gold, the metal you sell is reserved in your account until you receive the cash, which usually arrives after two business days. This is the industry standard timeframe.
Open orders are only executed on days when a suitable price is published.
How does BullionVault determine a price per kg for the Official Daily Gold Fix?
The Official Daily Fix is published in currency per troy ounce, i.e., in US dollars, euros, and pounds sterling per ounce (1 troy ounce (ozt) = 0.0311034768 kg). Orders placed with BullionVault are in kilograms. We convert the published price per ounce to a price per kg, rounding up to the nearest dollar, euro, or pound. We use the same price per kg for buying and selling without any spread.
News articles and analysis exploring the relationships between financial markets, the macroeconomic environment, and gold are published daily on BullionVault’s Gold pages.
BullionVault is now the world’s largest gold, silver, platinum, and palladium investment service, managing current holdings for 125,000 users worth €8 billion.
Can I track gold prices today?
Yes. You can change the chart scale to display periods of 10 minutes, one hour, six hours, one day and control gold price movements over the shortest periods. You can also track gold prices on your mobile or tablet with the iPhone or Android apps.
