GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — JANUARY 8, 2016

On Friday, January 8, 2016, the gold spot price was C$1,548.12 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥161,468.92 JPY per ounce or ¥5,191.34 JPY per gram. Gold fell -0.65% 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.
