Japan: A Historical and Modern Hub for Gold

Gold Markets in Japan

Japan has a rich history with gold and was once famously referred to as the "Land of Gold." Today, Tokyo is not only one of the largest cities in the world but is also renowned for its gold jewelry markets, particularly the Okachimachi district, located between Ueno and Akihabara. This vibrant area boasts over 150 jewelry shops where buying and selling gold is both easy and accessible.

Gold jewelry in Japan features various intricate designs, with one of the most popular items being the Japanese gold bracelet, crafted in different karats such as 18K, 20K, and 22K. Among these, 22K gold is more valuable than 18K due to its higher purity. Japan’s jewelry market features numerous luxury brands, including Cartier, Chrome Hearts, Chanel, Bvlgari, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Hermès, and Van Cleef & Arpels, which dominate the gold and jewelry retail sector.

Gold and the Japanese Yen: A Safe Haven Connection

According to Bloomberg, both gold (XAU) and the Japanese Yen (JPY) are seen as safe-haven assets by global investors. This means they tend to attract investments during times of market volatility, inflationary concerns, or geopolitical uncertainty. Over the past decade, a strong positive correlation has been observed between gold prices and the Yen.

Why the Yen is a Safe Haven

In international trade, the Japanese Yen is often considered a hedge against inflation or unpredictable global events. When investors exit the dollar trade during uncertain times, they tend to buy Yen (JPY) to safeguard their purchasing power. This strategy mirrors gold's role as a store of value, as evidenced by the similar patterns in the correlation chart between the Japanese Yen and gold prices.
