Question 1

How often does the live silver price update?

Accepted Answer

The spot price ticks whenever trades happen on the global over-the-counter market — often several times per second during busy hours. This page refreshes its quote every minute and the chart streams continuously, so you are never looking at a stale number during market hours.

Question 2

Why is my dealer's price higher than the live price?

Accepted Answer

Dealers sell physical silver, not the abstract spot contract. Their ask price adds a premium covering minting, distribution and margin — typically a few percent on bars and more on coins. Spot is the wholesale benchmark; the premium is the retail markup.

Question 3

When is the silver market open?

Accepted Answer

Silver spot trades from 6pm Sunday to 5pm Friday US Eastern, with a one-hour daily break from 5pm to 6pm for settlement. Outside those hours the quote you see is the last traded price, and it will jump when trading resumes if news broke over the weekend.

Question 4

What does XAG/USD mean?

Accepted Answer

XAG is the ISO currency code for silver — X for a non-national currency, AG from argentum, Latin for silver. XAG/USD simply means the price of one troy ounce of silver quoted in US dollars.

Question 5

Why did the live price suddenly freeze?

Accepted Answer

A frozen quote usually means the market is in its daily settlement break (5–6pm ET) or it is the weekend. During fast news events some data feeds also pause briefly. If trading is open and the price still looks stuck, refresh the page.

Question 6

Does the live price include the dealer premium?

Accepted Answer

No. The live price shown here is the pure spot rate. To estimate what you will actually pay, add your dealer's premium — check their product page for the per-ounce over-spot figure and add it to the live quote.

Troy ounce (31.10 g)	$53.99
