Questions about this analysis
Where does the gold and silver history come from?
AssetScreener installs validated daily continuous-futures closes from the versioned CC0 dataset identified on the Data Sources page and refreshes that file automatically. Current Gold API XAU/XAG spot quotes are labelled separately and never written over the technical-history instrument.
How are current gold and silver quotes used?
They appear as a current source-labelled reference in the price tape and leaderboard. Trend, momentum and ranking calculations continue to use validated daily SQL observations.
The exact input behind this page
These fields make the displayed observation traceable without confusing the stored source with AssetScreener’s calculated views.
Daily closing observations are validated, deduplicated and stored. Official FRED closes replace overlapping index dates when configured. Current spot and quote instruments remain separate. Ratios, percentiles and moving averages are calculated at request or display time.
Built to be checked, quoted and revisited.
Canonical URL, update date, definitions and original-source links are kept together so readers and search systems can verify the context.
