Gold Price Today in China – CNY per Gram & 10g

Compare the international gold reference in Chinese yuan while keeping Shanghai exchange contracts, retail jewellery and specific bullion products distinct.

An International CNY Reference and the Shanghai Market

The China dashboard expresses international gold spot in Chinese yuan. It is useful for a consistent currency-and-weight comparison, but it is not a direct Shanghai Gold Exchange quotation. A conversion of a USD reference does not reproduce every feature of a domestic exchange contract, a bank’s bullion offer or a retail jewellery price.

The Shanghai Gold Exchange publishes its own benchmark information, and its physical-contract pages identify products such as Au99.99 and Au100g. Before comparing an exchange figure with the dashboard, match the contract, purity, quotation time and unit. A familiar gold symbol is not enough to establish that two prices describe the same transaction.

Price per Gram and Price per Finished Item

For a per-gram jewellery comparison, establish the stated gold fineness and the net weight used by the seller. If a product is sold at a fixed price per item, divide the complete amount by its fine-gold content only as a comparison exercise. The resulting premium may include design, manufacturing or other product characteristics, so it is not a standalone measure of quality.

For a commemorative coin, read the exact issue’s weight specification. A coin described in grams should not be assumed to contain one troy ounce. The dashboard uses 31.1034768 grams for a troy ounce, so a product with another gram weight needs its own conversion. Apply purity once to the relevant alloy weight, or use the stated fine-gold weight directly.

Shanghai Trading Dates and Historical Charts

SGE’s daily reports distinguish contracts and market fields such as open, close and weighted average. They also explain that a trading day can include a session from the preceding working day. That is why a Shanghai market report’s date should not be treated as an arbitrary midnight snapshot or automatically compared with a website’s last daily observation.

For Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen or Guangzhou jewellery, distinguish a weight-priced item from an item sold at one fixed total. Dividing the latter’s complete price by its actual gold content can expose the additional amount attached to design or manufacture, but it cannot authenticate the item or determine what a buyer will later pay for that design.

For an intended resale, obtain the dealer’s buying terms before purchasing. Confirm accepted brands and specifications, packaging requirements, any testing method and the basis for deductions. A chart of the underlying metal cannot determine the amount paid for a particular branded jewellery item or a collectible coin.

Read the historical-chart guide before comparing a Shanghai contract report with the international monthly archive. Their observation definitions remain separate.

Worked Product Comparison: 30 Grams and a Troy Ounce

Hypothetical same-fineness comparison: at CNY 900 per gram of the stated fine-gold quantity, 30 grams corresponds to CNY 27,000. A troy ounce uses 31.1034768 grams and corresponds to about CNY 27,993.13. The difference of about CNY 993.13 follows from the extra 1.1034768 grams.

A 30-gram product is therefore not a one-ounce product with an unusually low price. First convert the actual stated fine-gold content, then calculate the product premium. If a coin specification states fine-gold content directly, do not reduce that figure for fineness again.

The same discipline applies when reading Shanghai contract information: use that contract’s unit, purity and defined price field before comparison. This illustration supplies no SGE settlement, retail-brand quote or current coin offer.
