Gold Spot Prices | Silver Prices | Platinum & Palladium - KITCO

Price discovery happens in paper markets, but stackers know the real game is physical availability. Kitco's spot prices reflect COMEX futures, but try buying 1000 ounces at those numbers. The disconnect between paper and physical widens during stress. Premiums tell you what's really happening. When dealers can't source metal or premiums spike above historical norms, that's your signal. Spot prices are reference points, not reality. The smart money watches COMEX registered inventory, not just the headline number. Physical gold under $2600 was a gift. Physical silver under $30 was generational. Stack when you can, not when you want to.
