Relationship with gram gold
Gram gold in Türkiye is driven by both ounce gold and USD/TRY. If ounce gold rises while the rate is stable, gram gold usually rises. A higher USD/TRY rate can limit or reverse a fall in ounce gold.
Approximate formula: Ounce price × USD/TRY ÷ 31.1035. Actual buy and sell prices may differ because of spreads, purity, workmanship and provider pricing.
