Editorial Responsibility

All pricing models, calculations, and published interpretations are maintained and reviewed by the platform operator. Data transformations, assumptions, and methodology revisions are documented publicly on the Methodology page. Corrections may be submitted via email and material errors are acknowledged and updated transparently.

Market Coverage

metalspread.com publishes reference pricing derived from multiple layers of the Indian precious metals market:

• International benchmark layer — LBMA gold and silver reference prices (USD/oz)
• Domestic wholesale layer — MCX futures and IBJA declared rates
• Currency layer — USD/INR market rates
• Financial instruments — Indian gold ETFs (NSE & BSE)
• Retail layer — publicly published jeweller rates across major Indian cities

Prices are normalised across purity grades and measurement units to allow direct comparison across market layers. Jeweller rates are compiled from publicly available rate disclosures.

Coverage

The platform currently covers gold and silver markets in India. International spot prices (USD/oz) and LBMA benchmarks are displayed for context. City-level pricing is available for 34 cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Jaipur, and Lucknow.

Independence Statement

metalspread.com is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with MCX, NSE, BSE, RBI, IBJA, LBMA, or any jeweller, broker, or financial institution. References to these entities are descriptive and identify data sources only.

The platform does not participate in price formation, trading, brokerage, or distribution of precious metals. It does not execute trades, route orders, provide investment advice, or maintain client accounts. No broker-client, advisor-client, or fiduciary relationship is created through use of the platform.

All revenue, if any, comes from the platform itself — not from referrals, lead generation, or data resale. The platform's output does not change based on user activity, referrals, or commercial relationships.

What metalspread.com Is Not

metalspread.com is not an exchange, trading platform, marketplace, dealer, price-setting authority, or government publication. It does not influence or determine market prices and does not provide personalised investment recommendations.

Verification Principle

Every displayed price corresponds to an identifiable benchmark or formula. Where a value is derived rather than directly observed, the derivation method is disclosed so that readers can independently reproduce the calculation.

Methodology

For detailed information about how prices are derived, validated, and displayed, see the Methodology page.
