      MONEY TRANSFERS

      How to compare two money transfer quotes

      Compare what the recipient actually gets when both providers start with the same budget.

      Read the guide

      Ask each provider for the total amount you’ll pay, the exchange rate, and the amount the recipient will receive. Check whether the fee comes out of your budget, is charged on top, or is deducted by an intermediary.

      Suppose you have 500 USD. Offer A charges 5 USD and quotes 0.88 EUR per USD. It delivers 435.60 EUR. Offer B charges 10 USD and quotes 0.90 EUR per USD. It delivers 441.00 EUR. The higher fee still leaves the recipient with 5.40 EUR more.

      Check delivery time and any recipient-side charges before choosing. Quotes can expire, so compare offers close together.

      PRECIOUS METALS

      How much gold is in an 18K ring?

      Use the ring’s weight and karat to estimate the value of its gold content.

      Read the guide

      Karat expresses gold purity in parts out of 24. An 18K alloy is 18 ÷ 24, or 75% gold by weight. A 10-gram ring made entirely of 18K alloy therefore contains about 7.5 grams of pure gold.

      Multiply the pure gold weight by the current price per gram. If your quote is per troy ounce, divide it by about 31.1035 to get the price per gram.

      Weigh the metal separately if the item has stones or non-gold parts. A dealer’s offer can differ from the estimated metal value because of testing, refining, and resale costs. A finished piece can also carry value for its design or maker.

      GLOBAL MARKETS

      How to read a stock index quote

      Understand the index level, point change, and percentage move at a glance.

      Read the guide

      An index level summarizes the performance of a group of securities using that index’s methodology. Its level is measured in points. Comparing the levels of two different indices tells you little because each uses its own starting value and weighting.

      If an index moves from 5,000 to 5,050, it has risen 50 points, or 1%. Percentage moves are more useful for comparing benchmarks. Check the session and quote time, especially when comparing markets in different time zones.

      Some rows use cash CFDs that track a benchmark. These are labeled in the quote table and can differ from the underlying index level. Exchange quotes can also be delayed or reflect the last close.

      What affects gold prices?

      Gold trades globally, usually in U.S. dollars. Real interest rates influence the opportunity cost of holding it, and shifts in the dollar can change what it costs in other currencies. Central bank purchases, investment demand, jewelry buying, and mine supply can also affect prices. These forces can pull in different directions, so compare moves over several time periods.

      See gold prices →

      Why do exchange rates change?

      Currency prices respond to relative interest rates, economic data, trade flows, and changes in investor demand. A release can move a pair when it differs from what markets expected. The reference rate gives you a comparison point for a bank or transfer quote, which may include its own spread and fees.

      Gold vs. silver

      Gold and silver serve different markets. Silver has substantial industrial demand, while gold demand also comes from central banks, jewelry, and investment. The gold-to-silver ratio compares their prices in the same units. A higher ratio means an ounce of gold costs more ounces of silver.

      Compare gold and silver →

      What is spot price?

      Spot price is a market reference for metal traded for near-term delivery. A retail coin or bar can carry a premium for fabrication, distribution, and dealer margin. Compare prices in the same unit and at the same purity. A troy ounce is about 31.1 grams.
