Methodology

Spot gold (XAU/USD) is sourced from Swissquote's ECN feed, which aggregates LBMA-tier institutional dealer quotes. Between the LBMA AM and PM fixes, the rate updates every minute during market hours.

FX crosses (USD/xxx pairs) are sourced from the same Swissquote interbank feed. Local currency gold prices are computed as XAU/USD × USD/xxx with no intermediate rounding until display.

The gram price is (XAU/USD × USD/xxx) / 31.1035.

FED, ECB, and TCMB benchmark rates are ingested directly from each central bank's official publication URL and cached for one hour. Historical releases are kept for audit purposes.

We monitor 40+ RSS feeds from financial newswires, central banks, commodity exchanges, and reputable industry publications. Every incoming headline is first screened for gold/forex/macro relevance (Gemini 2.5 Flash, EVET/HAYIR gate) and then scored for importance on a 1–5 scale.

Only items scoring ≥ 3 surface on pillar and country pages. Items scoring 5 trigger Web Push and Telegram alerts.

Programmatic pages are generated from typed static registries (currencies, countries, topics) and filled with LLM-composed contextual bodies. Each body is cached in Supabase keyed by (slug, cluster, locale) and a fingerprint of its input data. Cache is busted automatically when the fingerprint changes.

Pages are pre-rendered at build time and updated incrementally via Next.js ISR (3600s revalidation) and on-demand revalidation when critical data changes. The dateModified timestamp in JSON-LD reflects the actual regeneration time, not page view time.

Every programmatic page is composed from a typed registry of source data (currencies, countries, topics) combined with template prose that varies by slug. Pages that do not meet the minimum content threshold — a unique Quick Answer, at least three distinct body paragraphs, and a sourced FAQ — are either canonical-linked to their parent hub or excluded from the sitemap. Only pages that carry independent informational value are indexed.
