GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — MARCH 1, 2017

On Wednesday, March 1, 2017, the gold spot price was C$1,662.45 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥173,393.54 JPY per ounce or ¥5,574.73 JPY per gram. Gold rose +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.
