Gold & silver convention
A citable local gold/silver-buying convention (typical unit and purity) wasn't confirmed for Brazil yet, so it isn't shown here rather than guessed. The gold reference & converter and silver reference pages work for any unit or purity regardless.
Good to know
- B3 is the sole major securities exchange in Brazil, formed from the 2017 merger of BM&FBOVESPA and Cetip, combining equities, derivatives and OTC registration under one group. (Source: Wikipedia)
- B3 runs a single continuous regular session on weekdays with no midday break, from 10:00am to 4:55pm local time. (Source: TradingHours.com)
