Category Spot Price

Spot Price collects reference material on gold spot pricing (XAU) used for market observation, valuation, and execution context.

The category focuses on price construction and interpretation: bid/ask/mid mechanics, spread behavior, timestamp discipline, source aggregation, and the difference between a pricing reference and an executable quote for physical transactions.

• Bid, Ask, and Mid definitions and field mapping
• Indicative spot vs firm quotes and execution spreads
• Verification controls: timestamps, source transparency, and consistency checks
• Unit basis and conversions used in XAU pricing
