Trading in OTC gold and precious metals carries a high degree of risk and may not be appropriate for all investors. OTC gold products may be "thinly traded" or more illiquid than exchange-traded products, which tends to increase price volatility and impair your ability to buy or sell within a reasonable period of time without adversely impacting execution price(s).
Over-the-counter (OTC) refers to trading gold and precious metals directly between parties outside centralized exchanges. A wide range of gold products can be traded over-the-counter, including gold bullion, gold certificates, and even derivatives.
Many gold dealers choose to trade over-the-counter because it offers more flexibility in pricing and transaction size. The OTC gold market offers a place for direct trading between buyers and sellers worldwide.
