A Note On Each Metal

What Each Metal Tells You

Practical context

XAU Gold →

Gold is the central Qatar rate on this site. This page follows its wider-market ounce value alongside the local 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K price board in QAR per gram.

XAG Silver →

Silver has both investment and industrial demand. Its ounce value offers a useful comparison with gold, though a bullion or jewellery seller may quote a different finished price.

XPT Platinum →

Platinum is used in jewellery as well as industrial applications. Its supply and demand can give it a different price pattern from gold.

XPD Palladium →

Palladium is a platinum-group metal whose industrial uses can influence demand. Compare its stated unit and market date before weighing it against gold.

XRH Rhodium →

Rhodium trades in a much smaller specialist market than gold or silver. Its quoted unit and availability deserve particular attention when comparing figures.

IRD Iridium →

Iridium is a rare platinum-group metal used mainly in specialist industrial settings. A market indicator should not be read as a local retail offer.

RUTH Ruthenium →

Ruthenium is a specialist platinum-group metal. Its market is narrower than gold’s, so the displayed figure is best treated as a point of comparison.

OSMIUM Osmium →

Osmium is rarely encountered in ordinary jewellery purchases. Its page provides a market reference for readers following specialist metals.

RHENIUM Rhenium →

Rhenium is an industrial specialty metal rather than a standard jewellery-counter product. Its value is most useful in a specialist materials context.

HG Copper →

Copper is included as an industrial-market comparison, not as a precious-metal substitute. Its quoted unit can differ from the troy-ounce measures used for bullion metals.

Gold Is The Qatar Reference

Keep Local Gold And Global Metals Separate

The Qatar 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K board is the local reference. The other metals add perspective on the wider market, but they do not change the country gold rate or its recorded history.

Check The Unit

Ounce, Gram And Purity Matter

A troy ounce is not the everyday ounce, and a spot figure is not a finished product price. Confirm the unit, purity, assay and dealer terms before using a number in a purchase or valuation.

Practical answers

Metal Tracker Questions

Are these Qatar retail prices?

No. These are external spot indicators converted to QAR for comparison. A local dealer may use a different time, unit, spread and finished-product premium.

Why is a metal figure missing?

Some specialist metals have no current figure in the available rate board. An empty cell means there is no reading to show; it is not a zero price.

What is the unit for precious metals?

Gold, silver, platinum and palladium are normally shown per troy ounce, with a QAR-per-gram comparison where that unit is available. Specialist metals keep the unit shown beside their figure.
