LBMA Gold Price and LBMA Silver Price

About the LBMA Gold Price and LBMA Silver Price

The LBMA Gold Price and LBMA Silver Price are the global benchmark prices for unallocated gold and silver delivered in London.

Producers, refiners, the investment community, banks and central banks, fabricators, jewellers and other consumers as well as market participants from around the globe, transact during the IBA Gold and Silver Auctions and use the benchmarks as reference prices.

The ability to transact and reference a single transparent price, produced by an independent regulated benchmark administrator provides significant benefits to the market. The LBMA Gold Price and LBMA Silver Price facilitate spot, monthly averaging, cash-settlement, location swaps, fixed for floating swaps, options and other derivative transactions important to price risk management.

How the LBMA Gold and Silver Prices Work

IBA operates electronic auctions for spot, unallocated loco London gold and silver, providing a market-based platform for buyers and sellers to trade.

The auctions are run at 10:30 and 15:00 London time for gold and at 12:00 London time for silver.

The final auction prices are published to the market as the LBMA Gold Price AM, the LBMA Gold Price PM and the LBMA Silver Price benchmarks, respectively.

The price formation for each auction is in US Dollars. IBA also publishes the benchmarks in British Pounds and Euros but they are not tradeable directly through the auction.
