Intraday Spot Silver Prices

[brightsideuk 10]

Hi,

I wonder if you can help me.

I'm looking for a source of historical data for 1 min intraday spot silver prices. Ideally prices I can match to Kitco spot prices which they tell me are derived from "New York Spot Market and the CME Globex market."

There seem to be numerous sources of data for shares and currency exchange rates. If found a few sources of commodities futures however these don't provide a direct comparison as far as I could see.

I did find one potential source. INO.com. However after downloading their data I noticed the historical values for a given date and time were changing from one day to the next and I couldn't get them to explain why. It also seemed to miss the wide swings shown on the Kitco graphs. I appreciate there will be differences in the way spot price is calculated depending on the source. However these were 20 to 30 point differences. I concluded there might be some averaging over time going on.

My aim is to get the data into an excel sheet to analyse mathematically.

I basically tend to think you wont find this type of info for free...maybe yahoo,but if you have a trade account you should be able to export daily data from your broker...other than that I guess you need to check with data vendors and buy a feed

Hi,

Thanks for coming back so quickly.

I don't mind paying for data, (within limits) as long as it's reliable. Indeed the ino data wasn't free.

I just can't find spot silver on the data providers I've looked at so far. I wonder if I'm searching with the wrong keywords. I know lot's of people use Yahoo, however I didn't see historical minute data and another site says they don't do it.

 

I can't be the 1st person to need intraday spot prices for commodities. Someone (other than ino) must be selling this.

Once again, many thanks for responding.

I realy do get that I need to pay for quality data.

You should inquire with the CME Group for that.I am sure they will help you with it.

Hello, it is my first post, and I want to say that by no means I am affiliated with them, but a decent free source of data is http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/marketwatch/historical/. They also have data for metals. Of course you have to clean up the data, since the 1-minute .csv files also contain dates that the markets are closed.
