COMEX open vs after-hours quotes
During Taiwan daytime, US gold sessions may be in electronic hours, day-session gaps or closed. A flat number is not always a bug — it may be a closure, delay or last-valid hold. This page explains status labels and links back to the COMEX international page.

In session vs after hours / closed
During active hours the source is checked about every few minutes and points may move. When closed or delayed, this site keeps the last valid quote and labels status instead of inventing a print.
An after-hours or holiday “last” may be the prior valid trade/settlement reference — not a price you can execute at a Taiwan jewelry shop right now. TWD theory still needs FX — see BOT vs COMEX.
Read with Taiwan quote pages
International = USD/oz; home and jewelry = TWD theory. If the USD point is frozen but FX moves, TWD theory can still change. Units and qian definitions are in the units and qian guides.
What COMEX is sits in the COMEX guide. Silver and other metals may close on different clocks — see the silver guide.
Avoid common misreads
Do not treat a frozen after-hours point as a guaranteed reopen level. Do not ignore source, symbol and status text. News timestamps may not match futures hours.
All international and Taiwan figures are reference/theory — not investment advice and not Product/Offer executable quotes.

Session hours FAQ
Why is international gold sometimes flat during the day?
The session may be closed, in a settlement gap, or the source delayed. The page keeps the last valid quote and labels status — it does not fabricate prices.
Can I take an after-hours print to a jewelry shop?
Not as a trade basis. Shops have their own boards and hours. Our international point is a reference; TWD theory needs FX separately.
Where do I check live status?
COMEX international for USD quotes and status; home/jewelry for TWD theory. Method notes are in the COMEX and BOT/COMEX guides.
