How these prices are worked out
These are spot prices. They take the international price of gold, which is quoted in US dollars for a troy ounce of 31.1 grams, and convert it into local units. Lower karats are priced by how much gold they contain: 22 karat is 91.6 percent gold, 21 karat is 87.5 percent and 18 karat is 75 percent.
Dirham prices use the UAE’s fixed exchange rate of 3.6725 dirhams to the dollar. Rupee prices use the day’s market exchange rate.
What you pay in a shop will be higher. Jewellers in the UAE add making charges and 5 percent VAT. In India, shop prices also carry import duty and 3 percent GST, so they usually sit several percent above these figures.
Prices from Gold API, collected every morning at 6am UAE time. This page is for information only and is not investment advice.
