Well, I know local Monero has a data API, so the price could be tracked. Often, on local Monero, you'll find a minimum of a 10% markup on the XMR/USD pair. That comes down quite a bit if you get something like USDC or USDT though. My guess is primarily that is due to a lack of sellers pushing down rates and to the fact that payment methods straight from fiat can be reversed.
