The metal pricing chart that heads this forum has a bid and ask price. The one I was used to seeing until now had just one price. Was that price a bid price or an ask price or somewhere in the middle? What price on the new chart correlates best to the old one?
It depends on what you want to do in the precious metal's market.
If you're selling to a dealer, they use the bid price (the lower one, of course); If you're buying from a dealer, they use the ask price (the higher one, of course).
And the difference in between, called the spread, is part of dealers' profit margin.
I am familiar with those terms, but the chart coincommunity was using up until this week, had only one listing, and I was trying figure out which one that was - bid, ask, or spread.
