GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — SEPTEMBER 27, 2010

On Monday, September 27, 2010, the gold spot price was C$1,328.26 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥138,537.52 JPY per ounce or ¥4,454.08 JPY per gram. Gold fell -0.88% 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.
