What is premium over spot?
Premium over spot is the percentage gap between a dealer's quoted sell price and the international spot price, converted to HKDat the live exchange rate. It captures dealer margin, import costs, refining, and local demand — the reason two dealers in the same city can quote different prices for the same purity of gold. A higher premium means you're paying more above the raw metal value. The API includes a nullable field (premium_over_spot_bps) on every quote: it is computed when live spot, FX, and stated-purity inputs are available, and is otherwise null rather than fabricated.
Gold in Hong Kong
Hong Kong prices gold by the tael, and its retail market is anchored by long-established jewellery chains (Chow Sang Sang, Luk Fook) quoting both 9999-fine bullion and ornament gold daily. The city's role as a regional gold trading hub — home to the century-old Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange — makes its retail rates a useful cross-check against the mainland SGE benchmark.
Convention: Tael-based pricing (1 tael ≈ 37.429g) for 9999-fine bullion and ornament gold, from major retail chains.

One tael is approximately 37.429 grams — the traditional Chinese gold-trading unit still used for daily retail quotes in Hong Kong.What is the difference between bullion and ornament gold rates?
Bullion (9999-fine) is investment-grade gold; ornament gold is the jewellery rate, which carries different purity and margin conventions. The API carries them as separate products, with premium-over-spot only where purity is stated.
