GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — JANUARY 5, 2018

On Friday, January 5, 2018, the gold spot price was C$1,649.09 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥172,000.09 JPY per ounce or ¥5,529.93 JPY per gram. Gold fell -0.38% 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.
