ABC Bullion sources its gold, silver, platinum and palladium prices from independent providers, primarily Xignite, a globally recognised authority in precious metals pricing.
A daily “close of business” price is established at 5:00pm AEST/AEDT, which serves as the official benchmark for all client metal valuations.
