How to read NBP courses? Practical Guide
The NBP table contains three types of exchange rates for each foreign currency, and it is worth to understand the difference between them. Average rate (mid) is the reference value — This is the course that NBP publishes as official and which is the benchmark for the entire financial sector. The bid rate is the price that a currency or bank buys from you in exchange for gold — It will always be less than a medium course, because the cantor must have a margin. Sales rate (ask) is the price for which a currency or bank sells you a currency for gold — will always be higher than the middle course. The difference between the purchase rate and the sale is a margin of a currency or bank — The smaller the difference, the better the conditions for you.
In practice: if you plan to trade gold for euro in the cantore, you will receive the purchase rate (you will sell gold). If you want to trade Euros for gold, you get the sale rate (cantor sells gold for euro). NBP courses are published every day from Monday to Friday and form the basis for most cantors and financial institutions — but always check the current offer of a specific currency, because the margin may vary.
