Live Spot Prices

Want to know exactly what your metals are worth right now? The Live Spot Prices view in Precious Metals Manager gives you up-to-date pricing for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium — refreshed automatically and shown in your preferred currency.

Here’s a quick guide to help you make the most of this screen.

🌍 What Are Spot Prices?

Spot prices reflect the current market value of precious metals — the price at which they are bought or sold “on the spot.” These prices change constantly based on:

  • Global supply and demand
  • Financial markets
  • Currency fluctuations
  • Central bank policies

Unlike dealer prices (which include premiums), spot prices show the raw market rate per ounce.

🚪 How to Access the Live Spot Prices Screen

You can access the Live Spot Prices screen from anywhere in the app with just a few taps:

  1. Open the app to the main navigation.
  2. Tap on the Tools tab (bottom of the screen).
  3. Select Live Spot Prices from the list.

You’ll be taken to a screen showing current market prices, updated automatically.
