Reading the quotation
Platinum / US Dollar is quoted as a metal-linked market. Compare prices only when the quotation currency and physical or contract basis match; different units can produce very different numerical prices.
Read XPT/USD against the quotation currency and contract unit shown in the workspace. This information page does not specify a physical-unit conversion or contract multiplier. Position quantity and a quoted price need that basis before they can be combined.
Before trading
For XPT/USD, check the selected product, unit and order quantity before interpreting exposure to Platinum / US Dollar. A displayed metal price does not establish ownership or delivery of physical metal.
