Gold Plaza's Top 5 High-Value Buys for July 2025

The gold market has been on a rollercoaster ride in July 2025, with gold prices nearing an all-time high of 18,000 yen per gram. Gold Plaza, a leading player in the precious metals and luxury goods market, has released its Top 5 high-value purchases for this month, shedding light on the impact of global economic factors on local prices.

Gold Market Dynamics

As of July 1, 2025, the gold price started at 16,714 yen per gram. However, by July 9, with the expiry of a temporary suspension on Trump-era tariffs looming, prices rose 363 yen to re-enter the 17,000 yen bracket. Further increases were seen as additional tariffs on select items imported from Canada were implemented and the yen continued to depreciate. By July 23, the gold price soared to 17,683 yen per gram, marking the highest price in nearly a month.

By the end of July, factors such as the maintenance of the dollar at around 146 yen and the reduction of tariffs between Japan and the EU to 15% contributed to the closing price of gold at 17,230 yen, solidifying its position in the 17,000 yen range.

Market observers predict that upcoming tariff policies from the Trump administration and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine will significantly sway gold prices in August, making it crucial for collectors and investors to stay informed.
