Spot price or Kitco Morning Fix Spot is the live market price and moves all day.

Pro prices every metal off that day’s fix, with the fix date shown on screen so every quote can be traced to a specific published price. For professionals, a daily fix means one price for the whole day. A quote given in the morning still stands in the afternoon, every counter and every staff member works from the same number, and buying or selling prices can be agreed with customers and suppliers against a published daily figure instead of whatever spot happened to be at the moment of the quote. Switch back to spot at any time for a live valuation.

From a single gold ring to an entire collection of scrap jewellery, ScrapIt! Pro makes precious metal valuation simple. Developed by Kitco Metals, a trusted source of precious metal prices and market information. Calculations are estimates based on selected prices, weights, and purities. Actual buying or selling prices may differ.
