Live gold prices for 24 Asia-Pacific markets, from China, Japan and Korea to Australia, in local currencies per gram and ounce.
Asia-Pacific includes the largest gold buyers in the world and some of its most active trading hubs. Demand from China is enormous, Japan and Korea have long traditions of gold savings, and Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia are major centres for bullion. Southeast Asia, from Thailand and Vietnam to Malaysia and Indonesia, buys gold both as jewellery and as a store of value.
Units and purity standards vary widely. Many markets quote 24K gold per gram, which is how we show the main price. Thailand's gold shops use the baht weight, about 15.2 grams, and often trade 96.5% pure gold. Vietnam uses the chi and the luong. Hong Kong uses the tael. Our unit pages and guides explain how to convert between them.
Local conditions can push prices away from the international price. In some markets, import controls, taxes and strong demand create a premium or a discount, and our China, South Korea and Vietnam pages carry a note about it. Exchange rates matter as well, since the Japanese yen, Korean won and Indonesian rupiah all move against the dollar.
