India

INR · Rupees

The world's largest gold-buying nation by retail demand — where the price on this page isn't an abstraction, it's a wedding budget line item for millions of families every year.

China

CNY · Yuan

The only country that is simultaneously the world's largest gold miner and its largest gold buyer — and still can't produce enough to meet its own demand.

Japan

JPY · Yen

A country with almost no metal in the ground buying enormous quantities of it from everyone else — Japan's story is industrial demand, not mine supply.

Singapore

SGD · Dollars

Singapore mines nothing and manufactures little of what it trades — its entire role in the metals world is being a place everyone trusts equally.

UAE

AED · Dirhams

Dubai's gold souk isn't tourist theatre — the UAE built a genuine re-export hub for gold flowing between producers and buyers across South Asia and Africa.

Saudi Arabia

SAR · Riyals

Best known for oil, but Saudi Arabia is quietly building a real domestic mining industry as part of its push to diversify beyond hydrocarbons.

South Korea

KRW · Won

South Korea imports almost every gram of metal its electronics and shipbuilding industries consume — a resource-poor country running some of the world's most metal-hungry factories.

Turkey

TRY · Lira

Turkish households are estimated to hold some of the largest private gold stockpiles in the world — kept at home, not in a bank, as a direct hedge against currency instability.

Thailand

THB · Baht

Thailand's gold market runs on its own weight system — the baht — which has nothing to do with the currency of the same name and everything to do with centuries of local tradition.

United Kingdom

GBP · Pounds

London is the rare case of a city, not a country, being the actual center of gravity — three of the eleven exchanges tracked on this site are headquartered here.

Germany

EUR · Euros

Europe's largest economy, and one where the memory of a currency collapsing to worthlessness still shapes how ordinary people think about holding gold.

Switzerland

CHF · Francs

Roughly two-thirds of the world's gold passes through a Swiss refinery at some point in its life — a small country with an outsized grip on the physical supply chain.

USA

USD · Dollars

Home to COMEX, the futures market that — alongside London — most of the world's "spot" gold and silver prices are ultimately built from.

Canada

CAD · Dollars

A modest population sitting on an outsized share of the world's mining industry — Toronto lists more mining companies than any other exchange on Earth.

Mexico

MXN · Pesos

The world's largest silver producer by a wide margin — a title Mexico has held, in one form or another, since Spanish colonial mines opened centuries ago.

Brazil

BRL · Reais

Home to Vale, one of the two or three largest mining companies on Earth, and a genuinely major exporter of the iron ore that feeds Chinese steel mills.

Argentina

ARS · Pesos

Part of the "Lithium Triangle" that holds most of the world's known lithium reserves — and a case study in how extreme inflation distorts local-currency prices.

South Africa

ZAR · Rand

Home to the richest gold deposit ever discovered and, today, the world's dominant platinum producer by a wide margin.

Egypt

EGP · Pounds

A relationship with gold that predates almost every other market on this site by three thousand years — and a modern mining industry finally catching up to that history.

Nigeria

NGN · Naira

Africa's largest economy by GDP, with mineral wealth that remains largely untapped relative to its scale — most of the metal priced here is still imported, not mined locally.

Australia

AUD · Dollars

The world's largest lithium producer and a top-tier gold and iron ore exporter — a comparatively small population punching far above its weight in global mine supply.

New Zealand

NZD · Dollars

The quiet exception on this list — a small, agriculture-driven economy that mostly imports the metals priced here rather than mining or trading them at scale.
