Gold prices in the Philippines saw a noticeable decrease on Monday, according to the latest data from FXStreet. This dip in prices follows a trend seen over the weekend, with both the price per gram and the price per tola of gold experiencing reductions.
As of today, the price of gold stands at 5,068.75 Philippine Pesos (PHP) per gram, marking a slight drop from the previous rate of PHP 5,077.74 per gram recorded on Friday. This decrease reflects the ongoing fluctuations in the international gold market, which are typically influenced by factors such as global economic conditions, market demand, and currency movements.
In addition to the price per gram, the cost of gold per tola, a traditional unit of weight commonly used in the Philippines and other South Asian countries, has also seen a decline. The price for one tola of gold now sits at PHP 59,121.38, down from PHP 59,225.70 per tola on Friday. This price reduction could be attributed to shifts in the global gold market, where gold prices are subject to the changing values of the US dollar and other influencing economic factors.

1 Gram: PHP 5,068.75
10 Grams: PHP 50,688.66
