GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — OCTOBER 12, 2016

On Wednesday, October 12, 2016, the gold spot price was C$1,655.11 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥172,627.97 JPY per ounce or ¥5,550.11 JPY per gram. Gold rose +0.32% 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.
