What Moves the Gold Price in Canada?
The gold price in Canada is set by two moving parts: the global spot gold price, which trades around the clock in U.S. dollars, and the USD/CAD exchange rate that converts it into Canadian dollars. A day when gold rises in U.S. terms but the loonie strengthens can leave the CAD gold price nearly flat — and a weakening Canadian dollar can lift the CAD price even when spot gold goes nowhere.
Beyond the exchange rate, gold responds to real interest rates, central bank buying and selling, safe-haven demand during market stress, and jewellery and investment flows. For Canadian investors, Bank of Canada rate decisions and commodity-driven swings in the loonie often matter as much as the headlines moving gold in New York or London.
To see how much of any move is gold versus currency, the Kitco Global Index (KGX) shows gold’s value with the US dollar’s influence stripped out.
Gold Value by Purity in Canada
Most gold jewellery isn’t pure 24-karat gold. Jewellery is commonly made in 10K, 14K or 18K gold, while investment-grade bullion is typically much purer. Royal Canadian Mint Gold Maple Leaf coins, for example, are made from 99.99% pure (.9999 fine) gold.
Gold purity can be expressed in karats, with 24 karats representing pure or nearly pure gold, or as fineness, which expresses the proportion of gold in parts per thousand. Jewellery and other gold items may carry a quality mark such as 417, 585, 750 or 916 indicating their approximate gold content.
| Karat | Purity | Common Mark | What It Typically Is | Value per Gram | Value per Troy Ounce |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 99.9%+ | 999 or 9999 | Bullion bars and investment coins | C$193.94 | C$6,032.22 |
| 22K | 91.7% | 916 or 917 | Some bullion coins and high-purity jewellery | C$177.79 | C$5,529.73 |
| 18K | 75.0% | 750 | Fine jewellery | C$145.46 | C$4,524.16 |
| 14K | 58.3% | 585 | Common jewellery | C$113.13 | C$3,518.59 |
| 10K | 41.7% | 417 | Everyday jewellery | C$80.81 | C$2,513.62 |
| 9K | 37.5% | 375 | Lower-purity and imported jewellery | C$72.73 | C$2,262.08 |
Gold price per gram by karat today: 24K C$193.94 · 22K C$177.79 · 18K C$145.46 · 14K C$113.13 · 10K C$80.81 · 9K C$72.73.
In Canada, 9-karat gold is the minimum quality permitted for a non-plated gold article carrying a gold quality mark under federal precious-metals marking rules.
For example, a 14K or 585 gold item contains approximately 58.5% gold by weight. Its estimated melt value is therefore based on the amount of pure gold it contains rather than its total weight.
The calculator above shows the current estimated melt value of gold by purity in Canadian dollars using the live gold spot price. These figures represent melt value, not necessarily the amount you will receive when selling. Dealers typically pay below melt value for scrap gold, while finished jewellery, collectible coins and investment products may trade above their underlying gold value.
