Methodology
MetalView publishes indicative benchmark prices. This page explains how we source, format, and update those prices so readers can understand what the numbers do and do not represent.
Primary Data Sources
Gold and silver benchmark rates are sourced from Angel One city-level feeds where available. Copper, platinum, and palladium benchmarks are sourced from trusted commodity data providers and market feeds used for tracking price movement.
MetalView does not set, negotiate, or guarantee prices. We aggregate benchmark data into a consumer-readable format with city pages, metal hubs, and editorial explainers.
Update and Formatting Process
We fetch benchmark data regularly and display a visible last-updated timestamp on core price pages whenever data is available. Historical sections and charts are used to provide context around recent moves, not to promise future outcomes.
Where practical, we normalize units such as grams, 10 grams, and kilograms so readers can compare like with like. If the underlying market is thinner or more specialized, as with platinum or palladium, we treat the result as an indicative benchmark and say so clearly.
What Readers Should Verify Independently
The rate shown on MetalView is not the same as the final payable bill. Readers should always verify purity, making or fabrication charges, GST, product type, premiums, supplier margin, and availability with the actual seller or provider.
This is especially important for jewellery, local dealer quotes, bulk orders, and niche metals where retail access is limited or quote conventions vary.
