GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — MAY 3, 2016

On Tuesday, May 3, 2016, the gold spot price was C$1,617.12 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥168,665.62 JPY per ounce or ¥5,422.72 JPY per gram. Gold fell -0.42% 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.
