How to Read 24K, 22K, 18K and 14K Prices
When the market moves quickly, dealers may update at different times, creating temporary differences between otherwise comparable quotes.
For coins and bars, compare like for like: identical purity, stated weight and product category. A retail quote and a resale or buyback quote can be calculated differently.
For a fair comparison: compare products only when the carat, net weight and product type are the same.
For a complete view, follow the subsequent updates and review the weekly report once enough daily observations are available.

Understanding the local price
Compare like-for-like products by purity, weight, quote time and buyback terms before making a decision.
The displayed figure is a metal-value reference before product premiums, fabrication, taxes and dealer margins.
How to compare the current reading
Compare the latest figure with an earlier reading from the same source and a similar quote time. Separate the movement in metal value from fabrication charges, taxes and retail margins.
Match purity, weight, product type, delivery method and buyback terms. Bars, coins and finished jewellery may carry different premiums even when their gold content is similar.
What the rates mean for buyers
The table is a market reference expressed in CAD, not a binding retail offer. The final price in Canada can vary with availability, product premiums, taxes and dealer policy.
Request an itemised purchase quote and a separate resale quote. Confirm net weight, purity, invoice details and any testing or handling conditions.
Metal value versus the final product price
The saved reading estimates the underlying gold value. A finished product can cost more because of design, fabrication, packaging, certification, storage, delivery and dealer margin.
Use the same quote time and unit of weight when comparing sellers, and check whether tax or delivery is included.
