Why International and Domestic Gold Prices Differ

While the benchmark price is formed in global markets such as London/New York (USD/oz), Korea’s actual retail price can differ due to the following:

• Exchange rate (KRW/USD): FX translation effects
• Taxes/fees: VAT, transaction fees
• Spread: Bid–ask gap and tick size
• Premiums: Brand, product form (bar/coin), fabrication & packaging
• Time zone & trading hours: Update timing differences between global and domestic markets
• Supply & distribution costs: Local physical supply, logistics/storage, and hedging costs

As a result, a premium/discount (divergence) can emerge between the international and domestic gold prices.

Converting the International Price to KRW per Gram

International gold price (KRW/g) = International gold price (USD/oz) × FX (KRW/USD) ÷ 31.1035

• International gold price: 2,450 USD/oz
• FX rate: 1,390 KRW/USD
• KRW/g (reference): 2,450 × 1,390 ÷ 31.1035 = 109,455 KRW/g

※ The ounce used for precious metals is the troy ounce (1 oz ≈ 31.1035 g), which differs from the everyday avoirdupois ounce.
