It is to be noted that there is price differential between the price quoted by the dealers and the price as quoted by the newspapers. The difference in the price differential is because the news papers usually quote the prices which are actually the previous day price, these prices are usually the previous day prices taken from the authorized commodity exchanges where the precious metals are usually traded. It should however be noted by the users that the prices as quoted does not provide the price in any specific quantity, nor does in specify the form, nor does it specify the location or for that matter the trading forum for the benefit of the users. The prices quotes by the dealers is usually the spot price of the metal at that given point of time and is dependent on various factors like the manufacturing costs, the premiums with regard to the supply and the demand and the quote also factors into account the delivery charges if any, the insurance charges if any and the sales charges if any.
