XAUUSD and XAGUSD trading hours

Hi guys

I m a bit confused, my daily Gold+silver candles are different from other brokers

What time Start/close Daily Gold and Daily Silver bars

thx

It closes 5 PM, New York time. And then there is 1 hour break. Then it opens again at 6 PM, New York time. That's what I remember about gold, perhaps the same applies for silver.
Edit: on weekends there is no daily candle because markets are closed.

Different brokers show different charts. And the reason is because of different servertime i think? Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

Swap Rates on Spot Gold.
Just noticed that for the last two days, the swap rate for XAUUSD has been charged at TEN TIMES the normal rate. Is this because of the volatility during the WEF meetings or is it something else?
First time I have encountered this. Any seasoned traders answer this bit of trivia?
Cheers,
Frank

Further to that comment.
The swap rate that ICMarkets are quoting are -5.88 Long and 3.81 short for 100oz Gold. Can others confirm what their broker is offering for this please? It seems exorbitant, especially when you compare this with the rates on other pairs. They say it is dictated by their liquidity provider, and reflects the wider market, so I'm interested in what the wider market is charging. I have a healthy skepticism with this line, especially if they are trading against me and the trade is just an inhouse one (which they never say it is) and they can whack whatever Swap rates they want on it. They would not indicate which liquidity provider provided that quote (funny that), and was referred to get the quotes from other brokers.
Compare it with Pepperstone for instance, in Australia. Its swap is -$0.73 cents (per 100 oz) long and $0.35 short (per 100 oz). what a comparison--$5.88 to $0.73 and $3.81 to $0.35. When you are carrying significant volume, the difference is a killer.

Open and closing time differs from one broker to another

GOLD is at Overbought so avoid buying !!!!!

FrankieB, for me swap long is twice as much as yours. swap short is less than half of yours.

contract size is 100. i guess 1 contract is 1 oz?

one contract is 100z. Sorry for late reply. Never subscribed to thread.
