How Much Is A Gram Of Gold In South Africa?
The price of gold varies from day to day. And from one market to another. That is because prices are driven by supply and demand as well as interest rates, economic growth and other factors. Today, gold buyers will pay more for the yellow metal than they did earlier in the week or today. But tomorrow, sellers may be able to fetch a higher price for their ounce of gold than was available yesterday. For example, on Tuesday 24 October 2016, the price of gold stood at 1617 South African Rand per gram. By Wednesday 25 October 2016 that had risen by 9%, to 1728 South African Rand per gram. The rise happened because more buyers wanted to buy gold than there were sellers who were willing to sell it – so prices rose in value.

The price of gold changes every day. It is determined by the demand and supply of the yellow metal. At any one moment, the price of gold in one market might be higher than it is in another. That is because the demand for gold is what determines the price. The factors that drive the demand for gold include:
- The interest rates are paid on bank deposits and bonds. As these rates change, so do people’s decisions to buy or sell gold.
- Economic growth. If people expect the economy to grow, they are likely to buy more gold. This is because the yellow metal is a store of value. People will keep it in their savings accounts, bonds or other investments if they are confident that an increase in the value of gold will protect their money.
- The price of other commodities. Gold is often used as an international currency. If the price of other commodities – like oil or food – rises, then people are more likely to buy gold as a hedge against that price increase.
