Why Gold Prices Differ Between United States and Canada
Gold trades on a single global market — the XAU/USD spot price is the same everywhere. But once you compare United States (USD) against Canada (CAD) in local currency, the prices differ for four reasons:
- Currency exchange rates — a weaker USD or CAD against the dollar pushes the local gold price up.
- Local taxes — VAT, GST, sales tax differ by country.
- Import duties — both countries levy different customs charges on gold imports.
- Jeweller making charges — when shopping for jewellery (not bullion), local labour costs change the final price.
