GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — NOVEMBER 4, 2009

On Wednesday, November 4, 2009, the gold spot price was C$1,154.84 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥120,449.81 JPY per ounce or ¥3,872.55 JPY per gram. Gold fell -0.13% from the previous trading session.

Currency fluctuations between CAD and JPY significantly impact the effective cost of gold for international investors. Japan is the world's third-largest economy and a significant gold consumer, particularly for jewelry and industrial applications. The Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy has historically supported higher gold prices in Yen terms, making Japan an active gold market for both institutional and retail investors.
