Precious metals FAQs
What is precious metals market data?
Precious metals market data provides pricing and market information across metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium. Parameta’s data supports valuation, trading, hedging, risk management and market analysis across OTC precious metals markets.
What is gold OTC data?
Gold OTC data provides pricing visibility across brokered gold markets, including exchange of futures for physical (EFP), forward curves and location swaps. It helps traders, risk managers and treasury teams support valuation, hedging and market analysis beyond exchange-traded pricing alone.
What is an exchange of futures for physical (EFP) in precious metals trading?
An exchange of EFP is a transaction used to exchange a futures position for a related physical metals position. In precious metals markets, EFP pricing helps users understand the relationship between futures markets and physical OTC trading activity.
What is a location swap in precious metals markets?
A location swap reflects the value difference between the same metal held or delivered in different locations. In gold markets, location swap data can help users assess pricing differences between delivery points, such as Bank of England (BOE) and London settlement locations.
How does precious metals OTC pricing differ from exchange pricing?
Exchange pricing reflects standardised contracts traded on venues such as futures exchanges, while OTC pricing reflects brokered market activity between counterparties. OTC precious metals data can provide additional visibility into forwards, EFPs, location swaps and other structures that may not be fully represented by exchange prices alone.
