What the Shanghai Gold Exchange is
The Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE), opened in 2002, is China's national market for physical gold. Its main contract, Au99.99, is quoted in yuan per gram, and since 2016 the exchange has also set the Shanghai Gold Benchmark Price, the yuan reference for one kilogram of gold, twice each trading day.
China is the world's largest gold producer and one of its two largest consumers, and gold imports need permission from the central bank. Because metal cannot flow freely in and out, Shanghai prices can sit above or below the London price converted to yuan; that gap is called the Shanghai premium and widens when Chinese demand is strong.
The figures on this page are international spot gold converted to yuan at the day's exchange rate, so they show where Shanghai would trade with no premium at all. Compare them with the SGE's own published price to see the premium on any day.
