Gold rate in China — local context
China is the world’s largest gold consumer. The Shanghai Gold Exchange benchmark usually trades at a small premium or discount to the international price; the figure shown is the world price in yuan and excludes 13% VAT on jewellery.
The figures above are the international gold price converted to CNY at today’s exchange rate. They do not include local import duty, VAT or GST, so the price at a jeweller in China is typically higher — by a few percent in the low-tax Gulf markets, and by 10–20% in markets with a heavy duty such as Nepal, Bangladesh or Pakistan.
Frequently asked questions
What is the gold price in China today?
As of 9 Sep 2026, the indicative 24K gold rate in China is about CN¥956.78 per gram and CN¥9,567.84 per 10 grams; 22K is about CN¥8,764.14 per 10 grams. Rates update through the day and exclude jeweller making charges.
Is China gold cheaper than in India?
Usually yes for the metal itself — China prices exclude India’s import duty and 3% GST, so bars and coins are a few percent cheaper. Bringing gold into India above the customs allowance attracts duty, so the saving narrows once you account for that.
What will gold prices be tomorrow?
No one can reliably predict the next day’s gold price. It moves with the international gold price, the US dollar and safe-haven demand. This page updates through the day.
