Methodology

The premium is dealer retail price minus the entered reference price. Premium percentage divides that difference by the reference price. The buy/sell gap is dealer retail price minus the dealer's current buyback quote.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission advises physical-metals buyers to compare retail price with spot/reference value, ask for the dealer's buyback price, and obtain fees, costs, commissions, and agreed retail price in writing.
