How to read world gold prices, and why they differ

Original content · last updated 2026

Gold is a globally priced asset, quoted in "US dollars per troy ounce". Local prices differ mainly because of exchange rates and the local customary pricing unit — not because gold itself has two prices.

Three common pricing units

Troy ounce (oz): the international standard, 1 oz ≈ 31.1035 g, common in the US, UK, Europe and Switzerland.
Gram (g): common at retail across China, Japan, India, the Middle East and most of Asia.
Tael: used in Hong Kong and Macau; 1 Hong Kong tael = 37.429 grams (troy tael).

How local prices are calculated

Local price = international price (USD/oz) × USD-to-local rate ÷ unit conversion
e.g. HKD per tael = (USD/oz ÷ 31.1035 × 37.429) × the USD-HKD rate.

So when the US dollar strengthens, or a local currency weakens, the local-currency gold price rises even if the international price is unchanged. Figures here move with the live international price and exchange rates.

Why local retail still varies

Beyond exchange rates, local retail prices are affected by import duties, VAT, labour costs and local supply/demand — for example low jewellery labour in parts of the Middle East, or high demand in India's wedding season. Figures here are spot-derived references, not necessarily local shop retail prices.

All prices on this page are reference prices / estimates from the international spot price and public exchange rates, may be delayed or inaccurate, are not any region's official or dealing prices, and are not investment advice.

How world gold prices are converted and read

This table converts one and the same international gold spot into each country/region's local currency and common units as reference values, using verified rates. The core formula is the same as Hong Kong: (USD/oz ÷ 31.1035) × local rate, then unit conversion. Because everything derives from the same spot, the table suits side-by-side comparison of rough price levels, not the actual retail quotes of local shops.

Who is it for? Frequent cross-border travellers, those comparing gold across currencies, or anyone interested in the global market. How to read it? Local retail adds taxes, premiums and craftsmanship, so it differs from a pure spot conversion; this table is for education and reference only, with source and update time, and is not any region's official or dealable quote.
