China gold market
China's retail gold market centres on 24K gold (99.9% pure), quoted locally per gram in CNY. As a free-floating currency, the CNY means prices also reflect daily CNY/USD exchange-rate moves. The Shanghai Gold Exchange sets the yuan-denominated Shanghai Gold Benchmark Price, and high-purity gold dominates retail demand.
Common questions about 22K gold in China
- How is the 22K gold price in China calculated?

- Why does the gold price differ between shops in China?
- The raw spot price is the same across all shops. Differences come from three factors: (1) making charges (5-30 local units per gram), (2) retailer margin (3-10%), (3) local tax if applicable. The price shown here is the floor reference before any add-ons.
