What information do gold and silver enquiries share? Both should identify the intended product, purity or fineness, approximate quantity, destination and desired timing. Buyers should also state whether a particular bar format, mint, refinery, packaging standard or supporting document is required. The initial message should describe the requirement clearly enough for a trading desk to assess it. Commercial availability, accepted brands, pricing basis and delivery arrangements remain subject to review and written agreement. What should a gold bullion buyer specify? For gold, specify whether the enquiry concerns cast bars, minted bars or bullion coins. Include the preferred unit weight, purity, approximate total quantity and whether any origin, refinery, serialisation, assay or packaging requirement applies. Gold prices are commonly discussed with reference to the international spot market, but a physical transaction can also involve product, location, timing, documentation and commercial considerations. A spot reference is therefore not a final offer. What should a silver bullion buyer specify? For silver, identify whether the requirement concerns bars, larger wholesale formats, grain or bullion coins. Unit weight and total quantity are especially important because silver is bulkier and heavier for the same monetary value than gold. Destination, storage, collection and transport expectations should be raised early. These practical details can materially affect feasibility and must be confirmed before any commitment is made. How should buyers use XAU/USD and XAG/USD? XAU/USD and XAG/USD are useful market reference pairs, generally expressed in US dollars per troy ounce. They help counterparties describe the market context and timing of an enquiry. They do not show Royal Vista inventory and are not a quotation, an offer, investment advice or a guarantee of execution. The trading desk confirms any transaction-specific price and terms separately in writing.
