About Alpha Bullionz
Alpha Bullionz is an independent precious-metals reference, not a dealer, broker, or investment advisor. We publish indicative gold and silver benchmarks in USD and convert them into grams, tola, and supported local currencies so you can compare intrinsic metal value.
What we publish
Indicative spot price references for gold (XAU) and silver (XAG), interactive charts, country and unit pages, and calculators. Figures are derived from stored spot snapshots plus FX. They are reference math, not buy/sell quotes from a jeweller, sarafa board, or bullion dealer.
What we are not
We do not sell bullion, execute trades, or provide tax, legal, or investment advice. Retail prices add making charges, hallmark rules, GST/VAT, premiums, and local margins on top of metal value.
Methodology
Spot & refresh
Gold and silver spot are ingested from gold-api.com on a scheduled refresh about every 30 seconds under normal operation. Each page shows the UTC timestamp of the stored snapshot (as_of). Values can lag exchange screens slightly; we do not claim exchange-tick real-time pricing.
Units & karat
International spot is stored and quoted in USD per troy ounce. Gram prices divide by 31.1034768 (standard troy-ounce conversion). Tola uses 11.6638038 grams per tola. Karat values scale purity (for example 22K = 22/24 of fine gold for the same weight).
FX conversion
Local currency amounts multiply USD metal value by stored FX rates from the fawazahmed0 exchange-api feed, refreshed once per day (latest rate date 2026-10-10). Supported codes include USD, PKR, INR, AED, SAR, GBP, EUR, CNY, and KWD. Rates are indicative reference values, not bank or hawala quotes.
India INR reference
Displayed INR figures on the India country page, homepage charts, and calculators when INR is selected include a 13% reference adjustment applied once at the display layer to reflect a common import-duty context. This is a simplified reference, not an official government or jewellers-association rate card.
Charts & history
Interactive charts on the homepage use recorded daily closes for ranges longer than one day. The one-day view connects the prior stored close to the latest spot snapshot. Historical depth depends on how many daily closes are stored in our database.
Local dealer & sarafa rates
Pakistan, India, UAE, and other markets often quote retail gold in tola or per 10 grams with board-specific premiums. Our numbers show transparent spot + FX math so you can compare before making charges. Always verify with your local market before transacting.
