GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — MAY 19, 2023

On Friday, May 19, 2023, the gold spot price was C$2,670.79 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥278,563.40 JPY per ounce or ¥8,956.01 JPY per gram. Gold rose +1.37% 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.
