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; this API surfaces it as a first-class field (premium_over_spot_bps) for every quote instead of leaving buyers to compute it themselves.
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.
