Compare dealer sell prices, buyback quotes and premiums over spot. Buyback is what the dealer pays you.
No Japanese dealer quote is available.
Why dealer prices differ from spot
Japan taxes gold at full consumption tax rates. Dealer sell prices include this tax, so their premiums over spot look higher than in tax-free markets.
Spot measures the reference value of the metal. A dealer sell quote includes the dealer premium and tax.
